The Sheep Stealer
2
I am a brisk lad but my fortune is bad,
3
And I am most wonderful poor.
4
Oh, indeed I intend my life for to mend
5
And to build a house down on the moor, brave boys
6
And to build a house down on the moor.
7
The farmer he do keep fat oxen and sheep
8
In a neat little nag on the downs.
9
In the middle of the night when the moon do shine bright,
10
There's a number of work to be done, brave boys,
11
There's a number of work to be done.
12
Then I'll roam all around in another man's ground,
13
And I'll take a fat sheep for my own.
14
Oh, I'll end his life by the aid of my knife
15
And then I will carry him home, brave boys,
16
And then I will carry him home.
17
My children will pull the skin from the ewe
18
And I'll be in a place where there's none.
19
When the constable do come, I'll stand with my gun
20
And swear all I have is my own, brave boys,
21
And swear all I have is my own.
