Wasn't he a big one,
boys?
Wasn't he a big one, boys?
Wasn't he a big one, boys,
before they cut him down?
Say, Raven, you know who that
good old song reminds me of?
No, who?
Good old Grandpa Jones.
That's right,
he used to sing it all the time.
Yes, sir, you know I wish.
Well, I'll declare.
Well, there's that old rascal
out there outside with his banjo.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Grandpa.
Oh, what's up?
Come in here.
All right, what'd you say?
Want you to help us sing a song.
All right, what is it?
It goes like this, Grandpa.
Wasn't he a big one boy?
Oh, Darby's Ram.
Yeah, yeah.
Here we go.
Old Darby lived across the creek
and when he told the tale
Every minor in that creek
was big as Jonah's whale
Oh, wasn't he a big one, boys?
Wasn't he a big one, boys?
Wasn't he a big one, boys?
Before they cut him down to
play a rave
My daddy had an old bug sheet,
and then you'd hear him say
One of the finest rams, sir,
that ever fed on hay
He had four feet to walk, sir,
and he had four feet to stand
Every foot he had, sir,
would cover an acre of land
Wasn't he a big one, boys?
Wasn't he a big one, boys?
Wasn't he a big one, boys,
before they cut him down?
Pick up and a -grab, boy
All right
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum,
yum -a -dum -a -dum -a -dum -a -dum
Now you sing one, what do you say?
All right, you want me to sing one now?
I've got to go out and get
a nice old cob
I want to whittle down a pint
Okay, all right
Well, the wool that growed
on that ram's back
Reached up to the sky
The eagles built their nest in it
Boy, I heard the young 'uns cry
Wasn't he a big one, boy?
Wasn't he a big one, boy?
Wasn't he a big one, boy,
before they cut him down?
You sure can play that banjo, Grandpa.
It sure does sound good.
Now you sing one.
What do you say, Alvin?
Okay, Grandpa, it goes like this.
All right.
This old Albie had a horn,
he reached up to the moon.
A man went up in January,
and he never got back to June.
Oh, wasn't he a big one, boy,
wasn't he a big one, boy,
Wasn't he a big one, boys,
before they cut him down?
Oh, don't tell me!
Yum, yummy, yummy, yummy,
yum, yum, yum!
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!
Now the butcher man that cut him down
Was washed away in the flood
And the little boy that killed the boy
Was drowned within the flood
Oh, wasn't he a big one, boys?
Wasn't he a big one, boys?
Wasn't he a big one, boys?
Before they cut him down!
