Audra Mae - The Happiest Lamb lyrics

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.
