alan bell - the good shepherd كلمات أغنية

o come all of you labouring men, on you i’ll prevail
to pause at your leisure, and listen to my tale
for some men work in the pit, or ‘neath dark chimneys dwell
but i am a shepherd, amidst the high fells

now some say its a lonely life, up in t’crags and sky
with nought but steep rocky slopes, where deep heather lies
where sheep freely wander, to linger and graze
and its there with mi dog at heel, i spend all of mi days

in winter its hard when the cold winds do blow
for the becks are all iced up and the fells co’erd in snow
i work through the short day, but don’t stray far from home
‘cept to walk down to ‘pub at neet, for a sup and a warm

in spring its a busy time, from early dawn ’til dusk
for when t’lambs are a comin’, then labour i must
and if fox gets out amongst the ewes, then a huntsman i’ll call
for to fetch all his hounds out, for reynard’s downfall

when sheeps’ clippin’s over, and dippin’ is all done
its time for a hound trail to see what can be won
at wrestlin’ or fell_race, in to’ard westmorelan’ ways
all too_soon summers over, and its sheep tuppin’ time days

now mi father was a shepherd, as was his father before
and av got two lads at home, who’ll follow me i’m sure
and i’ll teach them of sheep and fell, and they’ll be of the best
when at last the good shepherd, calls me to my rest

- alan bell
