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
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
All to my dear Dinah these words I did 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
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 your or two bound
It's then we'll get married and both settle down
A little time after a letter was wrote
For to see if my dear Dinah had changed her mind
But she wrote that she'd lived such a contrary life
She said that she'd never be a young shepherd's wife
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
