[C] Mary had a little lamb,
[G] Little lamb, [C] little lamb,

[G] Its fleece was white as [C] snow.
[C] Everywhere that Mary went,
[G] Mary went, [C] Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
[G] The lamb was [C] sure to go.
[C] It followed her to school one day
[G] School one day, [C] school one day

[G] Laugh and play, [C] laugh and play,

[G] To see a [C] lamb at school.
[C] And so the teacher turned it out,
[G] Turned it out, [C] turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
[G] But still it [C] lingered near.
[C] And waited patiently about,
[G] Patiently about, [C] patiently about,
And waited patiently about
[G] Till Mary [C] did appear.
[C] "Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
[G] Love Mary so? [C] Love Mary so?

[G] The eager [C] children cry.
[C] "Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know ?"
[G] Loves the lamb, you know, [C] loves the lamb, you know
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know ?"
[G] The teacher [C] did reply.
