SHEPHERD's BOY.
Young Perkins is a shepherd's lad,
Fal, lal, lack-a-daisy!
Highty! tighty! never sad,
Merry-mad cap, so was dad,
But now grown old, he says “tis bad!”
Fal, lal, &c.

Merry-mad cap, so was dad,
But now grown old, he says “tis bad!”
Fal, lal, &c.

Harum, scarum! never cool,
Fal, &c.
Dad says, I'm beyond all rule,
Last April day was whipp'd at school,
But I made master April fool!
Fal, &c.
