Shepeherd Boy - Louis Prima, Keely Smith

A shepherd boy in a land you’ve never seen

Saw a girl busting out in bloom

He knew his sheep, but girls he’d never seen

Flipped his turban just smellin' her perfume

Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy

She’s a flame, but you’re no match

Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy

You’ll do the chasing and she will make the catch

I love you, I love you

The shepherd sings his heart out

I love you, I love you

The shepherd sings his heart out

He followed her through a mile of desert sand

She walked like honey poured when it’s warm

His heart kept time just like an army band

Wish for a payment to put down on a farm

Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy

You’ve walked a mile for what you’re gonna get

Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy

Stop making plans, you haven’t got her yet

I love you, I love you

The shepherd sings his heart out

I love you, I love you

The shepherd sings his heart out

She dropped her veil and he recovered it

He gazed upon her beauty rare

He thought he was the first one to discover it

Noticed four rings on her fingers there

Oh, Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy

No need to run, your flock’s asleep

Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy

You’re singin' now, but you’re singin' to your sheep

I love you, I love you

The shepherd sings his heart out

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,

I love you

The shepherd sings his heart out

Well that’s alright, I’m through with you chicks anyway

And I’m going back and watching my sheep
