“As I went down thoo Archerstown it was on market day”
As I went down thro Archerstown
It was on market day
I met the biggest ram Sir
That ever was fed upon hay
This ram sir had four feet Sir
for he to stand
And every step he would give would
cover an acre of land
Singing Ho dingle darby and he dingle dee.This ram Sir he had a tail
Most wonderful to tell
It went all round Archerstown
And many Miss R___'w bell
Singing etcThis ran, Sir, he had a horn
That grew up from the moor
P__ W__ wert up in February. And didnt come down till June
Singing etc
The man, Sir, that killed the ram, was up to his neck in blood
The boy that held the basin, Was carried by the flood
Singing eyc- Collector
