Sheepcrook and Black Dog |
| Here’s my sheepcrook and my black dog |
| I give it to you |
| Here’s my bag and budget |
| I bid it adieu |
| Here’s my sheepcrook and my black dog |
| I leave them behind |
| Fine Flora, my love |
| Has proved all unkind |
| All to my dear Flora these words I did say |
| Tomorrow we’ll be married love, tomorrow is the day |
| I know my dear William my age is too young |
| One day to our wedding is one day too soon |
| For I’ll go into service if the day ain’t too late |
| To wait on a fine lady it is my intent |
| And when into service a year or two bound |
| It’s then we’ll get married and both settle down |
| A little time after, a letter was wrote |
| For to see if my dear Flora had changed her mind |
| But she wrote that she’d lived such a contrary life |
| She said that she’d never be a young shepherd’s wife |
| Here’s my sheepcrook and my black dog |
| I give it to you |
| Here’s my bag and budget |
| I bid it adieu |
| Here’s my sheepcrook and my black dog |
| I leave them behind |
| Fine Flora, my love |
| Has proved all unkind |
