Steeleye Span - Sheepcrook and Black Dog lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Sheepcrook and Black Dog lyrics]
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 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
To see if my Dinah had changed her 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
You've proved all unkind
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 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
To see if my Dinah had changed her 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
You've proved all unkind
