Explore "The Sheep-Washers' Lament" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
(Air: "The Bonnie Irish Boy. ")
Come now, ye sighing washers all, / Join in my doleful lay, / Mourn for the times none can recall, / With hearts to grief a prey. / We'll mourn the washer's sad downfall / In our regretful strain, / Lamenting on the days gone by / Ne'er to return again.
