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
