O my tall and handsome shepherd
O my shepherd dear
There is frost up in the mountains
and here your wife looks beautiful
dressed up, wearing her new necklace
Essence
A
very old song, it is a description of the good
looks of the Shephard. O my tall, handsome Shephard
it goes. In
the voice of a girl it speaks of how she is
doing her work alone, milking the goat... and
thinking of her dear tall handsome shephard.
