Lyrics
Find another songI 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 does keep fat oxen and sheep
And a neat little nag on the downs
In the middle of the night when the moon shines 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 land
And I'll claim a fat sheep for my own
Oh I'll end off his life with 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 ewe
And I'll be in a place where there's none
When the constable comes I'll stand with my gun
And I'll swear all I have is my own, my brave boys
And I'll swear all I have is my own
For 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
