She took a clean dish

To get him some tripe,
But when she came back

He was smoking his pipe.

She went to the ale-house

To get him some beer,
But when she came back

The dog sat in a chair.

She went to the hatter's

To buy him a hat,
But when she came back

He was feeding the cat.

She went to the barber's

To buy him a wig,
But when she came back

He was dancing a jig.

She went to the fruiterer's

To buy him some fruit, But when she came back

He was playing the flute.

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, sir, they were so wondrous high,
As I've been plainly told, sir, they reach'd up to the sky;

The sky, the sky, the sky;
As I've been plainly told, sir, they reach'd up to the sky.

The tail that grew on 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.
