Lyrics
I was rounding up my flock when
Father called and said I should make my way to town
Was a job there for a shearer
cnd our money every year was short supplied
I made my way down the briar lined path
cnd I went cold when a shadow did cast
Darkened the sky and it darkened the land
There before me stood the giant Darby ram
Back so tall that eagles nested
Some attested wool was as deep as oceans wide
Took me 7 months to shear him
cnd when finished found that my family's fortune turned
Wool of the ram filled the bags by the thousand
Money we made for to buy a new plow and
Riches abound and my family was able
Ever more to have a full table
I am rounding up my flock and
Father calls and says, dinner's ready come sit down
