The Happiest Lamb - Audra Mae

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
