The Shepherd of the Downs - Bob Copper/Unknown/Ron Copper

A shepherd of the downs

Being weary of his port

Retired to the hills where

He used to resort

In want of refreshment

He laid himself down

He wanted no riches nor

Wealth from the crown

He wanted no riches nor

Wealth from the crown

He drank of the cold brook

He ate of the tree

Himself he did enjoy

Of all sorrow he was free

He valued no girl

Be she ever so fair

No pride or ambition

He valued no care

No pride or ambition

He valued no care

As he was a walking

One evening so clear

A heavenly sweet voice

Sounded soft in his ear

He stood like a post

Not one step could he move

He knew not what ailed him

But thought it was love

He knew not what ailed him

But thought it was love

He beheld a young damsel

A fair modest maid

She had something amiss

And disguised in her face

Disguised in her face

She unto him did say

How now Master Shepherd

How came you this way

How now Master Shepherd

How came you this way

The shepherd he replied and modestly said

I never was surprised before at a maid

When first you beheld me

From sorrow I was free

But now you have stolen

My poor heart away

But now you have stolen

My poor heart away

He took her by the hand

And this he did say

We will get married pretty Betsy today

So to the church they did go

And were married we hear

And now he'll enjoy pretty Betsy his dear

And now he'll enjoy pretty Betsy his dear
