(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

O MY trade it is the rarest one，

Simple shepherds all——

My trade is a sight to see；

For my customers I tie， and take 'em up on high，

And waft¹ 'em to a far countree！

My tools are but common ones，

Simple shepherds all——

My tools are no sight to see：

A little hempen² string， and a post whereon to swing，

Are implements³ enough for me！

To-morrow is my working day，

Simple shepherds all——

To-morrow is a working day for me：

For the farmer's sheep is slain⁴， and the lad who did it ta'en，

And on his soul may God ha' mer-cy！
