It's a song praising the "Border Collie" Starting (ish) I've had dogs and I've had good ones

another fragment, this one from the chorus:

quick on the outrun, and lift 'em easy
down to the gate boys keep it nice and slow
that'll do boys the jobs well done now
jump in back and we'll haed for home

Could this related to Kipling's poem, "The Ladies" which starts:

I've taken my fun where I've found it;
I've rogued an' I've ranged in my time;
I've 'ad my pickin' o' sweet'earts,
An' four o' the lot was prime.
One was an 'arf-caste widow,
One was a woman at Prome,
One was the wife of a ~jemadar-sais~,
An' one is a girl at 'ome.

There is also a parody which begins:

I've taken the nags as I found them

Have not heard a parody about dogs. But just wondering.

Google gives 6,010 hits on "Sarah Morgan." It's a common name.

I've identified one who is a songwriter, a member of Hen Party and Mike and Sarah (w/ Mike O'Connor), also "Fieldwork," and formerly "Bread and Roses."

The Hen Party site gives Sarah's email address and her phone number, so I suppose you could ask her for the lyrics.

But wait! There is another Sarah Morgan who is a member of The Curate's Egg, and another who is a member of Bound by Nothing

Are we in the right ball park yet?
