SWINGIN' SHEPHERD BLUES
Along a mountain pass there is a patch of grass
Where the swingin' shepherd plays his tune
His sheep never stray dancin' all day
'Til they see the pale and yellow moon
And then he leads his flock and homeward they all rock
To the tune of the Swingin' Shepherd Blues
Come home shepherd play those haunting trills
Come home shepherd let it echo through the hills
The Swingin' Shepherd Blues
And down the mountain pass there lives a pretty lass
Who's waitin' for the moon to shine above
She dresses with care braided in her hair
For the one and only swingin' love
And she knows he'll never roam because she waits at home
For the tune of the Swingin' Shepherd Blues
