Holderkin Sheep Song Lyrics

Margie Butler Holderkin Sheep Song

Silly sheep, go to sleep
We will watch around you, keep
Though the night be dark and deep
Nothing fast has dares to creep
Go to sleep

Wooly heads, have no dreads
For we'd rather seek out beds
And our eyes are full of lead
And we long for hearts and stead's
Have no dreads

Do not fear
We are here
Though this watch is lone and dream
Lacking all in warmth and cheer
Till the morn' again draws near
We are here

In the night, stars shine bright
And the moon is at her height
Lending us a little light
Nothing comes to give you fright
Stars shine bright

With the day lean away
Leaving you to breathe the day
Are the shepherds watch you play
Keep you safe from all that preys
Lean away

Silly sheep, go to sleep
We will watch around you keep
Though the night be dark and deep
Nothing fast has dares to creep
Go to sleep

Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh MMmm
