The Happiest Lamb

I once loved a shepherd

A charming, handsome man

One wave of his hickory stack

And I'd follow him 'round the land

'Til one day I noticed

I weren't the only one

There was all kind of other little pretty young sheep

Havin' all kind of pretty young fun

Hallelujah

I am the happiest lamb

Hallelujah

I am the happiest lamb

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

Hallelujah

I am the happiest lamb

I left my flock and headed off

Right to the promised land

Hallelujah

I am the happiest lamb

It's raining, I'm frozen

But I won't sell my wool to buy my shack

'Cause 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

Hallelujah

I am the happiest lamb

I left my flock and headed off

Right to the promised land

Hallelujah

I am the happiest lamb

And if you wanna know about me

Just ask around who I am

They'll tell you I am

The happiest lamb
