[00:00.69]The Shepherdess (1967 Session) - Jake Thackray
[00:14.44]She was a simple, shabby little shepherdess
[00:21.38]People pooh-poohed her, they said she looked a mess.
[00:28.49]Nobody else was ever so despised as she
[00:35.43]Nobody else but her flea-bitten sheep and me.
[00:42.27]I must confess that she didn't seem to dress too neat,
[00:49.01]And, truth to tell, she didn't seem to smell so sweet.
[00:56.27]Nobody knew how loving, tender, she could be
[01:03.35]Nobody else but her baa-baa sheep and me.
[01:10.47]One day in springtime, I was walking by the riverside,
[01:17.37]And there I saw, where the cool and greeny waters glide,
[01:24.11]My shepherdess undressing by a chestnut tree
[01:31.72]Nobody saw but her bleating sheep and me.
[01:38.50]She stretched out to sleep in the sun, as shepherdesses do,
[01:45.59]Covering herself with a chestnut blossom or two.
[01:52.48]Nobody knows that the breeze could blow so generously
[01:59.55]Nobody else but her scatter-brained sheep and me.
[02:06.27]Now I have a wife who's a shabby little shepherdess
[02:13.19]People pooh-pooh us, but we couldn't care less.
[02:20.22]Nobody else has seen her blossom, seen her sleeping
[02:27.26]Nobody else but me, and half-a-dozen po-faced sheep
