, my bonny harmless sheepv That feed upon the mountains steep, Bleating sweetly as ye go, Through the winters frost and snow; Hart, and hind, and fallow deer, No by hauf sae usefu are: Frae kings to him that hauds the plough, A are obligd to tarry woo. Up, ye shepherds I dance and skip.Oer the hills and valleys trip ;Sing in praise of tarry woo,Sing the flocks that bear it too ;Harmless creatures, without blame,That dead the back and cram the wame,Keep us warm and hearty fu;Leeze me on the tarry woo. How happy is the shepherds life,Far frae courts, and free of strife,While the gimmers bleat and bae,And the lambkins answer mae.No such music to his ear ;Of thief or fox he has no fear;Sturdy kent, and colly true,Weel defend the tarry woo. A6 He lives content, and envies none ;Not evn a monarch on his throne,Though he the royal sceptre sways.Has not sweeter holidays.Whod be a king ? can ony tell,When a shepherd sings sae well,Sings sae well, and pays his due,Wi honest heart and tarry woo.
