This one is from 'Folksong In The Classrrom', which Charley Noble sent to me.

This one is how I've learned it. I got this from Art's singing, but I undoubtedly mis-remembered bits of the tune. Art, is it close?

Charley, the vocabulary notes on the photocopy are interesting. They have "glooming" instead of "gloomering," which is how I've heard it. They say "glooming" means "shining." They lyrics themselves are different from what I've learned. I'd always pictured the master going out in the remnants of a storm, when it's still dark and rainy. The way the lyrics you sent me have it, he's going out into a morning all bright and shiney from the previous night's storm. Changes the whole mood - he's gathering the sheep after the rain's over, not during the storm.

"All weathered" means turned feral? Wild sheep? I always thought that meant they were wet and miserable, possibly sick, after having been rained on. Hmmm.

And "brung" is an ancient Welsh form of the past participle of "bring?" Uh-huh...sure.
