Shepherd O Shepherd Songtext
von Martin Carthy

Shepherd, oh, shepherd will you come home?
Will you come home? Will you come home?
Shepherd, oh, shepherd will you come home?
To your breakfast this morning

What have you got for me breakfast?
Me breakfast? Me breakfast?
What have you got for me breakfast?
For my breakfast this morning?

Bacon and beans a belly full
A belly full, a belly full
Bacon and beans a belly full
For your breakfast this morning

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


Shepherd, oh, shepherd will you come home?
Will you come home? Will you come home?
Shepherd, oh, shepherd will you come home?
To your dinner this evening

What have you got for me dinner time?
Me dinner time? Me dinner time?
What have you got for me dinner time?
For my dinner this evening?

Pudding and beef a belly full
A belly full, a belly full
Pudding and beef a belly full
For your dinner this evening

Me sheep are all in the wilderness
The wilderness, the wilderness
My sheep are all in the wilderness
So I cannot come home this evening

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


What have you got for me lodging?
Me lodging? Me lodging?
What have you got for me 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
For your lodging this night, oh

Lead me sheep out of the wilderness
The wilderness, the wilderness
Lead me sheep out of the wilderness
And I will come home this night
