I once loved a shepherd A charming, handsome man One wave of his hickory staff And Id follow him round the land Til one day I noticed I werent 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 Its raining, Im frozen But I wont 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 Theyll tell you I am..... The happiest lamb
