MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB

(trad.?)


Mary had a little lamb, ...
... its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went, ...
... the lamb was sure to go

	Hurrah for Mary,
	Hurrah for the lamb,
	Hurrah for the soldier boys
	Who did not give a damn!
	And everywhere that Mary went,
	The lamb was sure to go
	Shouting the battle cry of freedom

Mary had a little lamb, ...
... its fleece was black as soot
And everywhere that Mary went, ...
... its sooty foot it put

	Hurrah for Mary, ...

Mary had a little lamb, ...
... her father shot it dead
Now Mary takes her lamb to school, ...
... between two slabs of bread

	Hurrah for Mary, ...

Mary had a little lamb, ...
... she also had a bear
I've often seen her little lamb, ...
... I've never seen her bear

	Hurrah for Mary, ...

Mary had a little lamb,
... 'twas always on the go
So she staked it to a grassy spot, ...
... along the Shenandoah

	Hurrah for Mary, ...

And often she would let it loose, ...
... along the bank to play
The soldiers eyed it from the shore, ...
... in a slightly thieving way

	Hurrah for Mary, ...

It swam across the Shenandoah, ...
... the soldiers saw it too
And speedily it simmered down, ...
... into a mutton stew

	Hurrah for Mary, and for the lamb of course
	Hurrah for the soldier boys who shouted out "mint sauce!"
	And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go
	Shouting the battle cry of freedom
