Lazy Sheep, Pray Tell Me Why?
1. Lazy sheep, pray tell me why
In the pleasant field you lie,
Eating grass and daisies white
From the morning till the night?
Ev’rything can something do,
But what kind of use are you?
2. “Nay, my little master, nay,
Do not serve me so, I pray;
Don’t you see the wool that grows
On my back to make your clothes?
Cold, ah, very cold you’d be
If you had not wool from me.”
