Whoops! My space bar problem again-

RISE UP, SHEPHERD AN' FOLLER

1
Dere's a star in de Eas' on Christmas morn,
Rise up, shepherd, an' foller;
It'll lead t' de place where de Savious born,
Rise up, shepherd, an' foller.

Chorus
Leave yo' sheep an' leave yo' lams
Rise up shepherd an' foller.
Leave yo' lives and leave yo' rams
Rise up shepherd an' foller.
Foller, foller, rise up shepherd an' foller
Foller, foller, rise up shepherd an' foller;
Foller de star of Bethlehem
Rise up, shepherd an' foller.

2.
If you take good heed to do angel's words,
Rise up, shepherd an' foller.
You'll forget yo' flock, you'll forget yo' herd
Rise up shepherd an' foller.

Nicholas George Julius Ballanta-(Taylor), 1924, "Saint Helena Island Spirituals," recorded and Transcribed at Penn Normal Industrial and Agricultural School, St. Helena Island.
The African Ballanta-(Taylor) received a Diploma in 1924 from the Institute of Musical Art, NYC, for his work in recording some 103 spirituals from the Island. The Ballanta Academy of Music, Freetown, Sierra Leone, is named for him.

Logic would support separation of the four 'sheep' lines into a verse as Azizi has posted, but logic has little to do with folk song.
