Said the shepherd to his wife: |
| [00:37.75] |
”The crop of hay is cut and dried“ |
| [00:41.54] |
I’ll bale it up and bring it in |
| [00:46.33] |
Before the coming storm begins |
| [00:50.66] |
”Go", she said, "And beat the storm“ |
| [00:54.54] |
And then there is another chore |
| [00:58.79] |
Today the baby will be born |
| [01:03.37] |
You'll take me to the hospital" |
| [01:07.79] |
Said the shepherd, "If it's true |
| [01:11.45] |
’Twere better if I stayed with you |
| [01:15.62] |
I’d rather let the harvest go |
| [01:20.20] |
And hasten to the hospital" |
| [01:24.83] |
”Nay", she told him, "I'll be fine“ |
| [01:28.79] |
We both have laboring to do |
| [01:33.04] |
You do yours and I'll do mine |
| [01:37.29] |
And the babe will wait till the work is through" |
| [01:59.54] |
The shepherd rode the yellow rows |
| [02:03.62] |
The clouds above and the fields below |
| [02:07.45] |
Until the bales had all been tied |
| [02:12.25] |
Then homeward turned to find his wife |
| [02:16.55] |
The sweat was wet upon her brow |
| [02:20.37] |
Her breath it cameth laboredly |
| [02:24.37] |
And then the rain was coming down |
| [02:29.21] |
Upon the fields of yellow hay |
| [02:33.62] |
Said the shepherd, "It's no use |
| [02:37.50] |
The rain will surely win the race |
| [02:41.55] |
’Twere better if we let it fall |
| [02:46.25] |
And hurry to the hospital" |
| [02:50.80] |
”Go", she said, "And work with haste“ |
| [02:54.50] |
And bring the bales into the barn |
| [02:58.92] |
Else the crop will go to waste |
| [03:03.21] |
And the babe will wait till the work is done" |
| [03:42.59] |
The shepherd drove into the storm |
| [03:46.37] |
And to and from the yellow barn |
| [03:50.30] |
Till half the bales were safely in |
| [03:55.21] |
Then went to find his wife again |
| [03:59.37] |
How many times her name he called |
| [04:03.38] |
And no replying would she make |
| [04:07.50] |
Her breath it cameth not at all |
| [04:12.38] |
She would not rise from where she lay |
| [04:50.80] |
The storm was o'er within the hour |
| [04:54.75] |
The shepherd saw the sun come out |
| [04:58.84] |
The shepherd's wife saw ne'er again |
| [05:03.37] |
He buried her and the babe within |
| [05:07.46] |
He turned the seed into the ground |
| [05:11.55] |
He brought the flock to feed thereon |
| [05:15.59] |
He held the cleaver and the plow |
| [05:20.25] |
And the shepherd's work was never done |
