Rise up, shepherd, and foller.

Rise up, shepherd,
Rise up, shepherd, and foller;
O foller the Star of Bethlehem,
Rise up, sheperd, and foller.
2 Leave yo' sheep, leave yo' sheep, and leave yo' lambs;
Rise up, shepherd, and foller;
Leave yo' sheep, leave yo' sheep, and leave yo' ewes and lambs;
Rise up, shepherd, and foller.

3 If you take good heed to the angel's words;
Rise up, shepherd, and foller;
You'll forget all yo' flocks, you'll forget your herds;
Rise up, shepherd, and foller.
