Lyrics

Lonely Shepherd

Well I'm just a lonely shepherd and I live out with my flock
Oh how I miss my baby, sleeping on the cold hard rocks
Yea I'm just a lonely shepherd, but I've got a tale to tell
If you want to hear my story, won't you listen to me well

It was late one winter evenin' no I never will forget
I heard this band of Angels wailin,and they scared me half to death
Well they told me not to worry, so I did the best I could
Said they had a breaking story, and they said the news was good

Then we saw a bright star shinin---- and we heard the angels sing
Then we went to see a baby --- who was greater than a king
Yea we found him in a stable, he was sleepin with the cows
Still some wise men came to see Him,and before him they did bow

Yes I'm just a humble shepherd,never learned to read and write
But I got some education from what I saw that night
Well I'm glad I got to see it , and I swear my stories true
Now like a real good shepherd, I will play my harp for you
