I'm But a Poor Shepard Lyrics

Where did I go wrong with the Drummond girl?

I've nurtured her and nourish her soul!

To accuse ME! Of deliberate cruelty?

Where did I lose control?

I'm but a poor shepherd leading his flock

To teach the ALMIGHTY's word!

I can't fathom what drives them

To want to leave my herd

I'm an upstanding man in the community

I'm a leader a teacher a light

In this cruel dark world why it's a charity

To help these poor souls yet they run in the night!

I'm but a poor shepherd leading his flock

To teach the ALMIGHTY's word!

I can't fathom what drives them

To want to leave my herd

My daughter Charity's a good girl

Who always does as she's told

Why can't the Drummond girl be more like her?

To obey without question as in days of old

I'm but a poor shepherd leading his flock

To teach the ALMIGHTY's word!

I can't fathom what drives them

To want to leave my herd

It's not appealing

These rebellious feelings

It's strictly for women to obey

To be still and submit

And do without question

Like Minerva and stay out of my way!

Yet Minera can't bring me the money

That I could get from that Collins spinster

Gregory you are a genius!

I must get that lawyer here!
