I wish the shepherd's pet were mine, I wish the shepherd's pet were mine, I wish the shepherd's pet were mine, The pretty white lamb in the clover. And oh! I hail, I hail thee, And oh! I hail, I hail thee, The love of my heart for ever thou art, Thou little pet of thy mother. I wish that scores of kine were mine, I wish that scores of kine were mine, I wish that scores of kine were mine, And Kathleen, the love of her mother. And oh! I hail, I hail thee, And oh! I hail, I hail thee, The love of my heart for ever thou art, Thou little pet of thy mother. |
