★ Mary Had a Little Lamb History:

“Mary Had A Little Lamb” is a famous nursery rhyme; unlike many such ditties it is not particularly ancient, nor does it have any sinister connotations – as for example “Ring Around the Rosie” – and it has a very precise origin.

Although it is widely believed to be an English rhyme, “Mary Had A Little Lamb” was actually written by an American schoolteacher turned novelist and magazine editor. Sarah Josephina Hale (1788-1879) was born in New Hampshire, and published the nursery rhyme in May 1830, although it appears to have been written sometime before. It was inspired by a young girl named Mary Sawyer who took her pet lamb to school at the suggestion of her brother.

It is possible though not confirmed that part of the poem was written by John Roulstone, who visited the school at that time. Roulstone was studying for the ministry, and the purpose of his contribution – if any – may have been to add a spiritual or a moral dimension.
The music was added later by Lowel Mason. A statute representing the lamb was erected in Sterling
Massachusetts, the home of Mary Sawyer.

★ Mary Had a Little Lamb Lyrics :

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

He followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
He followed her to school one day
Which was against the rule
It made the children laugh and play
Laugh and play, laugh and play
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school

And so the teacher turned him out
Turned him out, turned him out
And so the teacher turned him out
But still he lingered near
And waited patiently
Patiently, patiently
And wai-aited patiently
Til Mary did appear

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
