A New Little Lamb

1. Come, let's see. Come with me. A new little lamb has been born tonight. A new little lamb, we are told. Let's open the door and go peek in the fold. A new little lamb's in the fold.

2. Baa, baa, baa. Baa, baa, baa. His faint little "Baa" breaks the silence of night. A new little lamb's in the fold. He wobbles and stumbles to stand in the cold. A new little lamb's in the fold.

3. Ahh, ahh, ahh. Ahh, ahh, ahh. His father stands close by to keep out the cold. A new little lamb's in the fold. While mother cares gently, like mothers of old. A new little lamb's in the fold.

4. Ooo, ooo, ooo. Ooo, ooo, ooo. A new little lamb has been born today. A new little lamb's in the fold. He's worth more than all of the silver and gold. A new little lamb's in the fold.

5. Lul-la-by. Lul-la-by. May Jesus, the Shepherd, so tenderly hold The new little lamb in the fold. May each of the flock oh so carefully mold The new little lamb in the fold.

Coda: Baa, baa, baa. Baa, baa, baa. A new little lamb has been born today. A new little lamb's in the fold. Baa, baa, baa. Baa, baa, baa. Baa, baa, baa. Baa, baa, baa...("Baa's" gradually fading in distance)
