Sheep Crook & Black Dog - Norma Waterson
I'll lay over the green branches
Although I am young
How dearly I loved my love
How sweetly she sang
Was there ever a young man in such
A sorry state
As me with my Flora
My laurel of late
All to my dear Flora these words I did say
Tomorrow we'll be married love
Tomorrow is our day
Oh no dearest William my age it is too young
One day to our wedding is one day too soon
For I'll go into service if the day ain't too late
I'll be apprenticed to a fine lady it is my intent
And when into service for a year or two bound
It's then we'll get married
Love and I'll settle down
But a little while after a letter was wrote
All a-saying that Flora had changed her mind
And she said that she lived such a contrary life
She'd never be
She couldn't ever be a young shepherd's wife
Here's me black dog
Here's me sheep crook
I'll will give unto you
Here's me bag and me budget
I will bid them all adieu
Here's me black dog and me sheep crook
I'll will leave them all behind
Since Flora
My laurel
You've proved so unkind
