Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go It followed her most every day, and it made the people laugh You’d never see it work or play, and you’d never see it at the grass Oh they’ll be loving a long long time from now, but it’ll be too late for him Oh they’ll be kissing and hugging and holding tight, but it’ll be too late for him
And people tried to talk to him, but it never made no sense ‘Cause just as they were getting through, it’d be jumping another fence It’d follow in her footsteps, and everywhere she went It’d see him in there with her, but you’d never be seeing him Oh they’ll be loving a long long time from now, but it’ll be too late for him Yes they’ll be kissing and hugging and holding tight, but it’ll be too late for him
Now one dark day, a big storm came and it blew Mary’s house away All the walls had vanished, and there was nowhere for Mary to stay She cried and cried, and looked around, but everything was gone Except for that one little lamb, he was still holding on Oh they’ll be loving a long long time from now, but there’ll be no-one more happy than him ‘Cause every night, the moon shines bright, she’ll be cuddling up to him They’ll be loving a long long time from now, but there’ll be no-one more happy than him ‘Cause every night, the stars shine bright, she’ll be cuddling up to him
