Along a mountain pa** There is a patch of gra** Where the swingin' shepherd plays the blues; His sheep never stray Dancin' all day Til they see the pale and yellow moon And then he leads his flock
And homeward they all rock To the tune of the swingin' shep herd blues Come home, shepherd Play those haunting trills Come home, shepherd Let it echo through the hills The swingin' shepherd blues
