Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa Baa black sheep have you any wool? yes sir, yes sir, three bags full

One for the master, and one for the dame, and one for the little boy

Who lives down the lane

 

Mary had a little lamb

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb

Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went

Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go
