Here's my sheep-crook and my black dog,
I give it to you,
Here's my bag and my budget,
I bid it adieu,
Here's my sheep-crook and my black dog,
I leave them behind,
Fine laurel, fine floral,
You've proved all unkind.

All to my dear Dinah these words I did say,
Tomorrow we'll be married love, tomorrow is the day,
'Tis too soon dear w____ my age is too young,
One day to our wedding is one day too soon.

I'll go into service if the day ain't too late,
To wait on a fine lady it is my intent,
And when into service a your or two bound,
It's then we'll get married and both settle down.

A little time after a letter was wrote,
For to see if my dear Dinah had changed her mind,
But she wrote that she'd lived such a contrary life,
She said that she'd never be a young shepherd's wife.
