Shearin Sheep Today
 by: Verne Garrison, Valley Park, Mo- May 9, 2007
Shearin Sheep Today
We Gare going to shear sheep Ctoday,
Thats what I heard my grandmother Gsay
They gathered them into D7pens,
And the Shearers had their Gway
Little Gsheep were crying and Cbleating
So afraid of what was going Gone
They ran to their D7mamas
When the shearing was Gdone
Oh it didnt take very Clong
To rob them of their Gcoats
And they stood there, D7shakin
It seemed so very Gwrong
Shearing was a necessary oper- C-ation
As the folks often exp- Glained
But it left a permanent D7impression
On this little boy, just the Gsame
It happened every Csummer
As best I can re- Gcall
The wool from their D7bodies
Gave clothes for us Gall
So I guess it was ok after Call
To treat them that a- Cway
But as a little boy lookin D7in
I wished not to see that Gday
Yes, we are shearin sheep Ctoday
Thats what I heard Grandma Gsay
If it is all the same to D7you
I think I will stay Gaway

Shearin Sheep Today

Shearin Sheep Today

G C

We are going to shear sheep today,

Thats what I heard my grandmother say

They gathered them into pens,

And the Shearers had their way

G C

Little sheep were crying and bleating

So afraid of what was going one

They ran to their mamas

When the shearing was done

Oh it didnt take very long

To rob them of their coats

And they stood there, shakin

It seemed so very wrong

Shearing was a necessary oper- -ation

As the folks often exp- lained

But it left a permanent impression

On this little boy, just the same

It happened every summer

As best I can re- call

The wool from their bodies

Gave clothes for us all

So I guess it was ok after all

To treat them that a- way

But as a little boy lookin in

I wished not to see that day

Yes, we are shearin sheep today

Thats what I heard Grandma say

If it is all the same to you

I think I will stay away
