Lyrics
1. Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And ev’rywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school one day,
That was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.
2. So the Teacher turned him out
But still he lingered near,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear;
And then he ran to her and laid
His head upon her arm
As if he said “I’m not afraid,
You’ll keep me from all harm.”
3. “What makes the lamb love Mary so?”
The eager children cry,
“O, Mary loves the lamb you know,”
The Teacher did reply;
“And you each gentle animal
In confidence may bind,
And make them follow at your call
If you are always kind.”
