A New Song
Merino sheep! Merino sheep!
Come, who will buy Merino sheep!
Merino sheep! now going cheap!
Oh! what a chance to make a sweep!
And have a flock of Merino sheep!
Come, who will buy Merino sheep!
Merino sheep! now going cheap!
Oh! what a chance to make a sweep!
And have a flock of Merino sheep!
Merino sheep! Merino sheep!
A thousand dollars for a sheep!
Merino sheep! I needs must weep,
To see them going all so cheap!
Oh! why did I bring Merino sheep!
A thousand dollars for a sheep!
Merino sheep! I needs must weep,
To see them going all so cheap!
Oh! why did I bring Merino sheep!
Merino sheep! Merino sheep!
Why sure, good folks, you're all asleep!
You will not buy Merino sheep!
Though now they're going all dog cheap!
Why sure, good folks, you're all asleep!
You will not buy Merino sheep!
Though now they're going all dog cheap!
Merino sheep! Merino sheep!
A thousand dollars for a sheep!
An hundred dollars for a sheep!
Come make a sweep, they're quite dog cheap,
Come, fifty dollars for a sheep!
A thousand dollars for a sheep!
An hundred dollars for a sheep!
Come make a sweep, they're quite dog cheap,
Come, fifty dollars for a sheep!
It makes me weep, they are so cheap,
Come, twenty dollars for a sheep!
Come, twenty dollars for a sheep!
Come, take the whole and make a sweep
At fifteen dollars for a sheep!
And you shall have Merino sheep.
At fifteen dollars for a sheep!
And you shall have Merino sheep.
Merino sheep! Merino sheep!
Come, who will buy Merino sheep!
What glorious profits shall he reap,
That now will buy Merino sheep!
Merino sheep!
Come, who will buy Merino sheep!
What glorious profits shall he reap,
That now will buy Merino sheep!
Merino sheep!
