Lyrics Who Kept the Sheep - Mono Version - Johnny Cash

The shepherds afar left their flocks by night
Followed the new star by it's heavenly light
Did the lambs fear the wolves, did they lay down and sleep
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Did robbers not steal or did they fear the light
That the shepherds had followed night after night
Did they not stray, did little lambs weep
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Under the new star the new Saviour Lay
In his dim manger he lay on the hay
The shepherds that came had a vigil to keep
But who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep? Who kept the sheep?
