[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
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
