lyrics

It's a rosebud in June
and violets in full bloom
And the small birds
singing love songs on each spray:
We'll pipe and we'll sing, love,
We'll dance in a ring, love
When each lad takes his lass all on the green grass
And it's all to plough where the fat oxen graze low
And the lads and the lasses do sheep-shearing go

For their flesh it is good, it's the best of all food
And their wool
it will clothe us and keep our backs from cold
We'll pipe and we'll sing ...

Here's the ewes and the lambs,
Here's the hogs and the rams,
And the fat wethers too,
they will make a fine show:
We'll pipe and we'll sing ...

When we have all sheared our jolly, jolly sheep
What joy can be greater
than to talk of their increase
We'll pipe and we'll sing ...
