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.
