'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
And the little white sheep

Chorus (after each verse):
And oh I call, I call you
You are my heart's love without deceit
And oh I call, I call you
You are your mother's little pet

'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
And welcome from by fair love

'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
And a kitten from my mother

'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
I would give it to my darling

(Chorus...)
