Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Shepherd, shepherd, where’d you leave your lambs? (repeat)
Oh, the lambs done gone astray, the lambs done gone astray.
Shepherd, shepherd, where’d you lose your sheep?…
…Oh the sheep done gone astray…
I pray to the Lord to bring them back someday…
…O the sheep all gone astray…
