Jolly shepherd
Language: English
Jolly shepherd and upon on a hill as he sat, So loud he blew his little horn and kept right well his gait, Early in a morning late in an evening And ever blew this little boy so merrily piping, Terliter lo, terliter lo, terliter lo, Terliter lo, terliter lo, terliter lo.
