Lyrics:

Tis the rosebud in June
And the violets in full bloom
And the small birds singing
Love songs on each spray.
Chorus:
We'll pipe and we'll sing love,
We'll dance in a ring love,
When each lad takes his lass
All on the green grass,
And it's oh to plough
Where the fat oxen graze low,
And the lads and the lasses
Do sheep shearing go.
When we have all sheared
Our jolly, jolly sheep
What joy can be greater
Than to talk of their increase.
Chorus
Their flesh it is good
Tis the best of all food
And their wool it will cloth us
And keep our backs from the cold.
Chorus
Here's the ewes and the lambs
Here's the hogs and the rams
And the fat wethers too
They will make a fine show.
Chorus
