[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

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?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
[G]The eager [C]children cry.

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