Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
He followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school

And so the teacher turned him out,
Turned it out, turned him out,
And so the teacher turned him out,
But still he lingered near.

And waited patiently about,
Ly about, ly about,
And waited patiently about
'Till Mary did appear.

Then he ran to her and lay
Her and lay. Her and lay.
Then he ran to her and lay
His head upon her arm.

As if to say, "I'm not afraid."
Not afraid, not afraid.
As if to say, "I'm not afraid."
"You'll keep me from all harm."

"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry.

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply.
