dick nolan - aunt martha's sheep lyrics
come gather all around me and i’ll sing to you a tale
about the boys in carmenville who almost went to jail
it happened on a november’s night when all hands was asleep
we crept up over joe tulk’s hill and stole aunt martha’s sheep
we caught the wooly animal and dragged her from her pen
she sais good+bye to the little lambs she would not see again
she knew that those dark strangers soon would take her life
in less than half an hour she felt that dreadful knife
aunt martha she got angry when she heard about the loss
she said she’d catch the robbers no matter what the cost
next morning just at sunrise she to the office went
and to the r.c.m.p. a telegram she sent
well the mountie got the message and started in to read
this is from aunt martha telling an awful deed
last night my sheep was stolen by whom i cannot tell
i’d like for you to catch them and take them off to jail
just a short time later about twelve o’clock that night
we had the sheep a+cooking and everyone feeling tight
the smell of mutton and onions no man could ask for more
we were chug+luggin’ dominion when a mountie walked in the door
he said sorry boys, your party i really don’t mean to wreck
i smelled the meat a+cookin’ and i had to come in and check
you see the sheep was stolen and the thief is on the loose
i said come right in and join us, sir, we’re having a piece of moose
he said thanks a lot and he sat right down and i gave him a piece of the sheep
this is the finest piece of moose i knows i ever eat
about two o’clock in the morning he bid us all good+day
if we gets any clues on the sheep, sir, we’ll phone you right away
he said thanks a lot, you’re a darn fine bunch, and your promise i know you’ll keep
and if everyone was as as good as you she wouldn’t have lost her sheep
after he left we had the piece we had in the oven to roast
we might have stole the sheep, boys, but the mountie ate the most
