I am a brisk lad but my fortune is bad,
And I am most wonderful poor.
Oh, indeed I intend my life for to mend,
And to build a house down on the moor, my brave boys,
And to build a house down on the moor.
My father he do keep fat oxen and sheep,
And a neat little nag on the down.
In the middle of the night when the moon do shine bright,
There's a number of work to be done, my brave boys,
There's a number of work to be done.
Then I'll ride all around in another man's ground,
And I'll take a fat sheep for my own.
And I'll end of his life by the aid of my knife,
And then I will carry him home, my brave boys,
And then I will carry him home.
My children they will pull the skin from the wool,
And I'll be in a place where there's none;
When the constable do come, I'll stand with my gun,
And swear all I have is my own, my brave boys,
And swear all I have is my own.
Collected in Dorset in 1905/6 - words from George Dowden, tune from Edith Sartin
