Reading edition

[Listen] [PDF] [MusicXML]

1. Lazy sheep, pray tell me why In the pleasant field you lie, Eating grass and daisies white From the morning till the night? Ev’rything can something do, But what kind of use are you? 2. “Nay, my little master, nay, Do not serve me so, I pray; Don’t you see the wool that grows On my back to make your clothes? Cold, ah, very cold you’d be If you had not wool from me.”
