Song of a Shepherd Lyrics

The lonesome life

Breeds a cautious man

With a wary heart

But a capable hand

He tends his flock

With love and care

Take away his pasture

And watch him fall in despair

A shepherd keeps his flock

And tends them well

I did my task with pride

And I raised my sheep to sell

But wicked men in city clothes

Stole my flock today

All I did was raise my voice

Before I was locked away

The wolves are circling

They'll soon be at the door

I've driven them back

So many times before

But I'm not the man

I used to be

Why does my flock

Run away from me?
