Lyrics Mary's Little Lamb - Otis Redding

Mary's Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
His fleece was white as snow
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
He followed her to school one day
And that was against the rules
He made the children laugh and play
You’ve seen that lamb
Oh, that lamb in school
(Mary had a little lamb) Oh Mary
(Mary had a little lamb)
Listen let me tell you something
Ever since I was four years old
I hated a silly rule
Ever since they ran Mary’s lamb
All the way home from school
You could’ve seen Mary cry
When she waved to her lamb goodbye
The teacher said, «Mary, come inside
Come on and dry, oh, dry your eyes»
(Mary had a little lamb) Oh, oh, oh Mary
(Mary had a little lamb) Wait a minute
Mary, don’t you be so blue
And bring that lamb back to school
And Mary, don’t you be no fool
You see the lamb daily through
When you go, oh, home today
You and your lamb can play
You can even do the twist
And then it goes something like this
(Mary had a little lamb) Oh, oh, oh Mary
(Mary had a little lamb) Oh, oh, oh Mary
(Mary had a little lamb) Come on, Mary
(Mary had a little lamb) Don’t you be such a moaner
(Mary had a little lamb) Don’t cry no more
(Mary had a little lamb) Hey, hey, hey Mary, hey, hey
(Mary had a little lamb) Come on Mary, oh
(Mary had a little lamb) Come on Mary
