He stands by the bridge where the brown waters roll In the rain in his duster and his hat with a hole Stained by the runoff of the fields up above Sliced by steel plows and hemorrhaging mud Yeah his boots were all covered by rivers of mud Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Your family's depending on their faithful herd-boy The neighbors are thankful on their trusted herd-boy His day starts out early before his friends go to school He'll wait by the bridge 'till the milking is through Then they'll bring him their cows for his care and concern Then he'll take them to pastures till the darkness returns Back home to their owners when darkness returns Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Your family's depending on their faithful herd-boy The neighbors are thankful on their trusted herd-boy His father ran off before he was ten Then his mother got sick and it was all up to him Though barely thirteen, it was his task to provide Provisions and shelter, for a family of five The only provider for a family of five Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Your family's depending on their faithful herd-boy The neighbors are thankful on their trusted herd-boy With his dog by his side and his rifle (staff) in his hand Back then there were no fences surrounding the land Wolves and packs of coyotes looking for easy prey And it was the herd boy's job to keep them all away The herd boy did his job, and kept his cattle safe Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Your family's depending on their faithful herd-boy The neighbors are thankful on their trusted herd-boy He was called the herd boy, minding cows and their calves Down range to green pastures, where he'd keep them all safe Whether raining or snowing, by his cows he will be When the going was hard, he remembered Psalm 23 And King David, the shepherd, and Psalm 23 Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Surely Your goodness and love follow me He always took comfort in Psalm 23 Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Herd-boy (echo herd-boy) Your family's depending on their faithful herd-boy The neighbors are thankful on their trusted herd-boy
