The Shepherdess - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]
She was a simple, shabby little shepherdess[00:00:14]
People pooh-poohed her, they said she looked a mess.[00:00:21]
Nobody else was ever so despised as she[00:00:28]
Nobody else but her flea-bitten sheep and me.[00:00:35]
I must confess that she didn't seem to dress too neat,[00:00:42]
And, truth to tell, she didn't seem to smell so sweet.[00:00:49]
Nobody knew how loving, tender, she could be[00:00:56]
Nobody else but her baa-baa sheep and me.[00:01:03]
One day in springtime, I was walking by the riverside,[00:01:10]
And there I saw, where the cool and greeny waters glide,[00:01:17]
My shepherdess undressing by a chestnut tree[00:01:24]
Nobody saw but her bleating sheep and me.[00:01:31]
She stretched out to sleep in the sun, as shepherdesses do,[00:01:38]
Covering herself with a chestnut blossom or two.[00:01:45]
Nobody knows that the breeze could blow so generously[00:01:52]
Nobody else but her scatter-brained sheep and me.[00:01:59]
Now I have a wife who's a shabby little shepherdess[00:02:06]
People pooh-pooh us, but we couldn't care less.[00:02:13]
Nobody else has seen her blossom, seen her sleeping[00:02:20]
Nobody else but me, and half-a-dozen po-faced sheep[00:02:27]
