Song Lyrics

Verse 1
We are all jolly shearers, and we like it very well,
We are all jolly shearers, and we like it very well,
Here's a health unto our master for brewing of good ale.
Refrain
And a sheep shearing we will go, we will go,
And a sheep shearing we will go.
Verse 2
Come let the health pass round, my boys, and never spill a drop,
Come let the health pass round, my boys, and never spill a drop,
Here's a health unto our master and prosperity to his flock.
Refrain
Verse 3
Come, let the health pass round, my boys, we'll have them filled up full,
Come, let the health pass round, my boys, we'll have them filled up full,
Here's a health unto the shearers and the man that winds the wool.
Refrain
Verse 4
We shear about from place to place, all for to please our minds,
We shear about from place to place, all for to please our minds,
We kiss the girls wherever we go, and our wives at other times.
Refrain
