- Derby Ram
As I was going to Derby, 'twas on a market day,
I met the finest ram, sirs, that ever was fed upon hay.
That's a lie, that's a lie
That's a lie, a lie, a lie!
This ram and I got drunk, sir, as drunk as drunk could be.
And when we sobered up, sir, we were far away out on the sea.
- Fish in the Sea
Come all you young sailor men, listen to me,
I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea;
(Chorus)
And it's...
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys,
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys;
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow,

Goodbye, fare-ye-well! Goodbye, fare-ye-well!
Where all them judies, they will come down

For we're bound for the Rio Grande
