I once loved a Sheppard, 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 (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 Sheppard 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 my shack. Cause I know it gets much colder when you let some Sheppard sheer it off your back. No Sheppard 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.
