《The Shepherdess(1967 Session)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Shepherdess - Jake Thackray

[00:00:14] She was a simple, shabby little shepherdess

[00:00:21] People pooh-poohed her, they said she looked a mess.

[00:00:28] Nobody else was ever so despised as she

[00:00:35] Nobody else but her flea-bitten sheep and me.

[00:00:42] I must confess that she didn't seem to dress too neat,

[00:00:49] And, truth to tell, she didn't seem to smell so sweet.

[00:00:56] Nobody knew how loving, tender, she could be

[00:01:03] Nobody else but her baa-baa sheep and me.

[00:01:10] One day in springtime, I was walking by the riverside,

[00:01:17] And there I saw, where the cool and greeny waters glide,

[00:01:24] My shepherdess undressing by a chestnut tree

[00:01:31] Nobody saw but her bleating sheep and me.

[00:01:38] She stretched out to sleep in the sun, as shepherdesses do,

[00:01:45] Covering herself with a chestnut blossom or two.

[00:01:52] Nobody knows that the breeze could blow so generously

[00:01:59] Nobody else but her scatter-brained sheep and me.

[00:02:06] Now I have a wife who's a shabby little shepherdess

[00:02:13] People pooh-pooh us, but we couldn't care less.

[00:02:20] Nobody else has seen her blossom, seen her sleeping

[00:02:27] Nobody else but me, and half-a-dozen po-faced sheep
