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 printed in Penguin Book of English Folk songs by Williams and Lloyd.
