History is reflected in the words of folk songs

   zzShepherd Of The Downs - . - A shepherd of the downs being weary of his port - Retired to the hills where he used to resort - In want of refreshment he laid himself down - |: He wanted no riches, nor wealth from the crown. :| - 2. He drank of the cold brook he ate of the tree - Himself he did enjoy from all sorrow was free - He valued no girl be she ever so free - |: No pride nor ambition he valued no care. :| - - 3. As he was a-walking one evening so clear - A heavenly voice sounded sweet in his ear - He stood like a post not one step could he mov - |: He knew not what ailed him but thought it was love. :| - - 4. He beheld a young damsel a fair modest bride - She had something amiss and disguised in her face - Disguised in her face she unto him did say - |: How now, master shepherd, how came you this way? :|
