Mary Had a Little Lamb Lyrics

This song was written in 1830 in Boston by Sarah Hale. It's thought to be a hopeful song about recipricated love that children would relate to. Did you know that this nursery rhyme was the first song ever recorded by Thomas Edison on his tintype phonograph?

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb,
Little lamb, Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day,
School one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule.

It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play.
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.
Its fleece was white as snow.
