Mary's Blue Lamb

[voice 1, spoken] Hey, let me tell you a story, [voice 2, spoken] What's that? [voice 1] About Mary and her little lamb. [intro] Ooh, Mary had a lamb, yeah. [instrumental] [blues guitar riff] [verse 1] Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow, yeah. Everywhere that Mary went, that lamb was sure to go. (Mmm-hmm) It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule, It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school. [chorus] Oh, that lamb, (oh that lamb), that little lamb, Draggin' its heart behind Mary. (Oh yeah) Blues walking down the street, fleece shining so brightly, Got them blues, baby, every time Mary's not in sight. [verse 2] And why does the lamb love Mary so? (Tell me why) The eager children cry; Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know, the teacher did reply. (Ooh yeah) And if that lamb, my friends, got blues, it's 'cause Mary's love is true, In every bleat, it sings its woes, with every step in her shoes. [chorus] Oh, that lamb, (oh that lamb), that dear lamb, Feeling blue without its Mary. (Feeling blue) It got the schoolhouse blues, all tangled in its wool, Lost without Mary, oh it's just no good. [bridge] [blues guitar solo] Oh, listen to the blues guitar, tell the story of Mary and her lamb, The bond so tight, the blues so deep, Strumming the heartstrings, in a soulful creep.
