The Derby Ram
As I was going to Derby all on a
market-day,
I met the finest ram, sir, that ever was fed upon
hay;
Upon hay, upon hay, upon hay;
I met the finest ram, sir, that ever was fed upon
hay.
This ram was fat behind, sir; this ram was fat
before;
This ram was ten yards round, sir; indeed, he was no
more;
No more, no more, no more;
This ram was ten yards round, sir; indeed, he was no
more.
The horns that grew on his head, they were so
wondrous high,
As I've been plainly told, sir; they reached up to
the sky.
The sky, the sky, the sky;
As I've been plainly told, sir, they reached up to
the sky.
The tail that grew from his back, sir, was six yards
and an ell;
And it was sent to Derby to toll the market bell;
The bell, the bell, the bell;
And it was sent to Derby to toll the market
bell.
About Nursery Rhymes
A nursery rhyme is a traditional song or poem taught
to young children, originally in the nursery. Learning
nursery rhymes assists in the development of vocabulary
and in some cases basic counting skills. It also
introduces children to enjoy music. Often actions,
movement or dances are associated with these nursery
rhymes and children songs.
