The Sheep Stealer

There was a sheep stole from the marsh and Marcus was the sinner
He stole the sheep on a Saturday night for Sunday for his dinner
So good a cook he had - she was so good and clever
For a very good pie he should have had if she's only got the liver

Chorus:
And sing toora loora lido
Toora loora lay
Toora loora lido

A famous scratch we had with the stuff he stole just now
We killed the sheep and skinned it all on an open bough
One said he'd have the breast, another one said he'd have the chine
Says Wrestling Ned to Stumpy Jack, You'll tear off all his spine

Chorus

Said Stumpy Jack, I'll have none of that from any old fool like you
If you boiled his head for a year and a day he'd have more brains than you
They fought the whole of the afternoon, they stopped to get some scran
While the kids had eat up all of the meat and the bones was in the pan

Chorus
