Oh Shepherd, Oh Shepherd or The Sheep are in the Wilderness



Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home

Will you come home, will you come home?

Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home

To your breakfast in the morning



What have you got for my breakfast...

If I do come home this morning?



Bacon and beans, a bellyful...

If you do come home this morning



My sheep they are all in the wilderness...

So I cannot come home this morning



Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home...

To your dinner this morning

What have you got for my dinner

If I do come home this morning



Pudding and beef, a bellyful

If you do come home this morning



My sheep they are all in the wilderness

So I cannot come home this morning



Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home

To your supper tonight



What have you got for my supper

If I do come home tonight



Bread and cheese, a bellyful

If you do come home tonight

My sheep they are all in the wilderness

So I cannot come home tonight



Oh shepherd, oh shepherd will you come home

To your lodging tonight



What have you got for my lodgings

If I do come home tonight



A clean pair of sheets and a pretty lass

If you do come home tonight



Oh, I'll drive my sheep out of the wilderness

And I will come home tonight
