Mary and the Little Lamb - Yusuf Islam

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
