Lyrics
Shepherds are the cleverest lads that ever trod England's ground
Theyโll call all at some alehouse and value not one crown
Theyโll call for liquor merrily and pay before they go
They will work in the fields where stormy winds do blow
They will work in the fields where stormy winds do blow
As I walked out o'er Mount Star plain the frost did cut my feet
My ewes and lambs hung out their tongues and around me they did bleat
Then I took up my courage bold and over the hills did go
And I drove them to fold where stormy winds do blow
And I drove them to fold where stormy winds do blow
So now that I have folded them and returned safe back again
Into some jovial company I boldly entered in
A-drinking of strong liquor boys, it is my heart's delight
While my sheep lay asleep all the cold and stormy night
While my sheep lay asleep all the cold and stormy night
So come all you bold young shepherds wherever you do march
On a cold and a grimy morning did you ever feel the smart
Did you ever feel the smart my boys, through ilgo frost or snow
As you drive them to fold where stormy winds do blow
As you drive them to fold where stormy winds do blow
