The Sheep Stealer
From Fog & Fire, 2008 Traditional.

I am a brisk lad,
And my fortune is sad.
Oh I am most wonderful poor.
Now indeed I intend
For my fortunes to mend,
And I値l build a house down by the moor, my brave boys.
I will build a house down by the moor.

I値l ride all around
On another man痴 ground
And I値l take a fat sheep for my own.
And I値l end of its life
By the aid of my knife.
And then I will carry it home, my brave boys.
And then I will carry it home.

My children shall pull
All the skin from the ewe
And I値l go to a place where there痴 none.
And when the constables do come
I will stand with my gun
And I値l swear all I have is my own, my brave boys.
I値l swear all I have is my own.

I am a brisk lad,
And my fortune is sad.
Oh I am most wonderful poor.
Now indeed I intend
For my fortunes to mend,
And I値l build a house down by the moor, my brave boys.
I will build a house down by the moor.
