The Happiest Lamb

I once loved a shepherd A charming, handsome man One wave of his hickory staff And I'd follow him 'round the land 'Til one day I noticed I weren't the only one There was all kinda other little pretty young sheep Havin' all kinda pretty young fun Hallelujah, I am the happiest lamb! (x2) I ran to mother Mary My face as white as snow She said 'Kid you remind me of someone I used to know Be grateful for your freedom, remember what I said; "No shepherd man, alive, can grow the wool that gets him paid." Hallelujah, I am the happiest lamb! (x2) I left my flock and headed off right to the promise land Hallelujah, I am the happiest lamb It's raining, I'm frozen But I won't sell my wool to buy no shack I know it gets much colder when you let some shepherd sheer it off your back No shepherd man alive can grow the wool that gets him paid Hallelujah, I am the happiest lamb! (x2) I left my flock and headed off right to the promise land Hallelujah, I am the happiest lamb And if you want to know about me Just ask around who I am They'll tell you I am..... The happiest lamb
