Sheepcrook and Black dog

[Verse 1]
There's me black dog and sheep-crook
I will give it to you
Here's me bag and me budget
I bid you adieu
There's me black dog and sheep-crook
I leave it behind
Fine laurel, fine floral
You've proved all unkind

[Verse 2]
All to my dear Dinah these words did I say
Tomorrow we'll be married love, tomorrow is the day
'Tis too soon dear Willy, my age is too young
One day to our wedding is one day too soon

[Verse 3]
Now, I'll go into service if the day ain't to late
To wait on a fine lady, it is my intent
And when into servicе a year or two bound
It's then we'll gеt married and both settle down

[Verse 4]
Oh, a little time after a letter was wrote
For to hear if my Dinah had changed here mind
And she wrote that she's led such a contrary life
She said that she'd never be a young shepherd's wife

[Refrain]
Here's my bag and my budget
I bid it adieu
There's me black dog and sheep-crook
I will give it to you
There's me black dog and sheep-crook
I leave it behind
Fine laurel, fine floral
You've proved all unkind
