Irish pub song/parody inspired by the true story of a runaway sheep who wandered into the mountains and lived there for 6 years, protected from the jaws of wolves by 60lbs of wool!

lyrics

LYRICS:

I went to the mountains in twenty fifteen,
For to graze for awhile in the land so serene.
And I gathered my hide and I gathered my fluff-
Ay, the winters were cold, and the neighbors sure rough.

Damned ye wolves, be damned ye wolves!
I've a wool that spans three feet wide-
Best of luck to ye who bite at my hide.

Me mother did beg me to travel with care,
For the neighborly wolves were of folk to beware.
Me sisters did warn me of menacing jaws-
But I had a plan, so they gave me no pause.

Damned ye wolves, be damned ye wolves!
I've a wool that spans six feet wide-
Damned ye all who bite at my hide!

I've lived many a year now and traversed afar-
With impenetrable fluff, I'm sure no caviar!
The wolves they will prowl and the wolves they will bite-
And end up with a hairball and hacking all night!

Damned ye wolves, be damned ye wolves!
I've a wool that spans nine feet wide-
Now the wolves turn away in perplexed dismay,
Damned ye all who bite at my hide!

Now I spend all my days grazing sure happily-
In the land of the wolves, I'm the sheep of the free.
So take it from me, a lesson well learned-
She who grows out her floof sure shall not be spurned!

Damned ye wolves, be damned ye wolves!
I've a wool that spans twelve feet wide-
I sure look like a fool but I'm immune to the cruel,
Damned ye all who bite at my hide!
