Sheepcrook And Black Dog |
| Here’s my sheep-crook and my black dog |
| I give it to you |
| Here’s my bag and my budget |
| I bid it adieu |
| Here’s my sheep-crook and my black dog |
| I leave them behind |
| Fine laurel, fine floral |
| You’ve proved all unkind |
| Here’s my sheep-crook and my black dog |
| I give it to you |
| Here’s my bag and my budget |
| I bid it adieu |
| Here’s my sheep-crook and my black dog |
| I leave them behind |
| Fine laurel, fine floral |
| You’ve proved all unkind |
| All to my dear Dinah these words I did say |
| Tomorrow we’ll be married love, tomorrow is the day |
| 'Tis too soon dear Willy my age is too young |
| One day to our wedding is one day too soon |
| 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 your 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 Dinah 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 sheep-crook and my black dog |
| I give it to you |
| Here’s my bag and my budget |
| I bid it adieu |
| Here’s my sheep-crook and my black dog |
| I leave them behind |
| Fine laurel, fine floral |
| You’ve proved all unkind |
