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 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 to 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,
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 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,
