And see they’ve done already turned he’s on the whipping side.

“Sweep them locks away,” another loudly cries.

And passing by the ringer he says, “You watch it lad keep down.”

Dm Am Dm
To shear a decent tally boys in vain I've often tried.

Dm Am Dm
But such a terror as this to clip I've never shore before.
