Mary's Little Lamb - Otis Redding

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
