Sheepcrook and Black Dog

Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
