"Mary Had a Little Lamb" is an English language nursery rhyme of nineteenth-century American origin. Original Version Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow, And every where that Mary went The lamb was sure to go ; He followed her to school one day-- That was against the rule, It made the children laugh and play, To see a lamb at school. And so the Teacher turned him out, But still he lingered near, And waited patiently about, Till Mary did appear ; And then he ran to her, and laid His head upon her arm, As if he said—‘ I’m not afraid-- You’ll keep me from all harm.’ What makes the lamb love Mary so ?’ The eager children cry-- O, Mary loves the lamb, you know,’ The Teacher did reply ;-- And you each gentle animal In confidence may bind, And make them follow at your call, If you are always kind Later Version Mary had a little lamb, Little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb Whose fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went, Everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go.
