Sheepcrook & Black Dog
Lyricist:Timothy Daniel Hart, Robert Michael L Johnson, Frederick Stanley Kemp, Peter Knight, Nigel John Pegrum, Madelaine Edith Prior, Traditional
Here's my sheepcrook and my black dog, I give it to you Here's my bag and my budget, I bid it adieu Here's my sheepcrook and my black dog, I leave them behind Fine laurel, fine floral, you've proved all unkind
All to my dear Dinah these words did I 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 To see if my Dinah had changed here mind But she wrote that she's led 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 my budget, I bid it adieu Here's my sheepcrook and my black dog, I leave them behind Fine laurel, fine floral, you've proved all unkind
