Placed my hand on the brow of the sheep
When it comes, it will come heavy
Sheared off his hair, nowhere did he bleed
When it comes, it will come heavy
Sent him down a mountain far from me
When it comes, it will come heavy
Down by the water, no hair, he will freeze
When it comes, it will come heavy
It comes down on me
I hung a swing from a pine tree
Swing so high the bullfrogs can't get to me
The bullfogs they use pine needles
And weave a pair of sheep hair wings to get to me
Bullfrogs were singin', irritating me
When it comes, it will come heavy
Cold outside, I put on the hair of sheep
When it comes, it will come heavy
Run from the cold, the bullfrogs mocking me
When it comes, it will come heavy
Tied their legs together, never more will they leap
When it comes, it will come heavy
It comes down on me
I hung a swing from a pine tree
Swing so high the bullfrogs can't get to me
The bullfogs they use pine needles
And weave a pair of sheep hair wings to get to me
Down the cold river a child came to me
When it comes, it will come heavy
He cried in his throat, he cried "give help to me"
When it comes, it will come heavy
But my hands were full up with the hair of the sheep
When it comes, it will come heavy
And as a cruel joke someone had tied my feet
When it comes, it will come heavy
It comes down on me
It comes down heavy
