Why don't you come set me free
I've got a reason, can't you see
Over all the great plains and the seas
Why don't you come set me free
I'm a lonely Shepherd and I haven't got a home
Working out in the sun and rain
So my herd is free to roam
I'm a lonely Shepherd and I need a helping hand
Underneath the old oak tree
Sitting by the old oak tree
Underneath the old oak tree
Sitting by the old oak tree
I'm a lonely Shepherd
Without a place go
Bees buzzing around me
They won't leave me alone
The days are getting longer
And the hive don't get no rest
I sit here and sing my songs
And I keep the frame in check
Sit here and sing my songs
And I keep the frame in check
I'm a lonely Shepherd, I sit here and sing my songs and I keep the frame in check
I'm a lonely Shepherd, I sit here and sing my songs and I keep the frame in check
Underneath the old oak tree
Sitting by the old oak tree
Underneath the old oak tree
Sitting by the old oak tree
