Shepherd O Shepherd Songtext
von Martin Carthy

Shepherd o shepherd will you come home
Will you come home will you come home
Shepherd o shepherd will you come home
To your breakfast this morning

What have you got for my breakfast
My breakfast my breakfast
What have you got for my breakfast
For my breakfast this morning

Bacon and beans a bellyful
A bellyful a bellyful
Bacon and beans a bellyful a bellyful
For your breakfast this morning

My sheep are all in the wilderness
The wilderness the wilderness
Sheep are all in the wilderness
So I cannot come home this morning


Shepherd o shepherd will you come home
Will you come home will you come home
Shepherd o shepherd will you come home
To your dinner this evening

What have you got for my dinnertime
My dinnertime my dinnertime
What have you got for my dinnertime
For my dinner this evening

Pudding and beef a bellyful
A bellyful a bellyful
Pudding and beef a bellyful
For your dinner this evening

My sheep are all in the wilderness
The wilderness the wilderness
Sheep are all in the wilderness the wilderness
So I cannot come home this morning

Shepherd o shepherd will you come home
Will you come home will you come home
Shepherd o shepherd will you come home
For your lodging this night oh


What have you got for my lodging my lodging
My lodging my lodging
What have you got for my lodging
For my lodging this night oh

Clean sheets and a pretty lass
A pretty lass a pretty lass
Clean sheets and a pretty lass a pretty lass
For your lodging this night oh

Then I′ll leave my sheep out in the wilderness
The wilderness the wilderness
Leave my sheep out in the wilderness the wilderness
And I will come home this night
