The New Christy Minstrels - Down to Darby lyrics



As I went down to Darby it was on a summer’s day,
Don’t you know I saw the biggest ram that ever was fed on hay.
I hesitate to tell you for you’ll say it’s just a yarn,
But when he stood beside it he was taller than the barn.

Chorus:
It’s a lie, it’s a lie, yes we know it isn’t true.
For we’ve been down to Darby, Sir, and we have seen him too.

I was stopping at the ale house to have a bit of a drink
And as I looked around me there a lad said “What d’ya think?”
He was peeping through the window with an eye as big as a your hat.
His whiskers were like hickory limbs and what d’ya think of that?

Chorus

The legs upon the Darby Ram were thirty miles around
And every hoof he walked upon could cover an acre of ground.
The horns upon his wooly head were a hundred east to west,
And if you fill me flagon I’ll be glad to tell the rest.

Chorus

Kind Sir, it’s my opinion that you’re talking through your hat.
To me you make no sense at all, Good-day, and that is that.
Well, come on down to Darby, then, I’ll show you that it’s true.
We’ll have a little drink and then you can see him too.

And it’s Farewell, and it’s Farewell
When they ask you where I am,
I’ve gone away to Darby for to see the Darby Ram.
It’s a lie, it’s a lie, yes we know it isn’t true.
But we’ll all go down to Darby and we’re bound to see him too.
It’s a lie, it’s a lie, yes we know it isn’t true.
But we’ll all go down to Darby and we’re bound to see him too.
Yeah!
