Facts:
  • I have the following information from Wikipedia:The nursery rhyme was first published as an original poem by Sarah Josepha Hale on May 24, 1830, and was inspired by an actual incident. As a girl, Mary Sawyer (later Mrs. Mary Tyler) kept a pet lamb, which she took to school one day at the suggestion of her brother. A commotion naturally ensued. Mary recalled: Inside the schoolhouse. "Visiting school that morning was a young man by the name of John Roulstone, a nephew of the Reverend Lemuel Capen, who was then settled in Sterling. It was the custom then for students to prepare for college with ministers, and for this purpose Mr. Roulstone was studying with his uncle. The young man was very much pleased with the incident of the lamb; and the next day he rode across the fields on horseback to the little old schoolhouse and handed me a slip of paper which had written upon it the three original stanzas of the poem..."[1] There are two competing theories on the origin of this poem. One holds that Roulstone wrote the first four lines and that the final twelve lines, more moralistic and much less childlike than the first, were composed by Sarah Josepha Hale; the other is that Hale was responsible for the entire poem. Mary Sawyer's house, located in Sterling, Massachusetts, was destroyed by fire on August 12, 2007.[2] A statue representing Mary's Little Lamb stands in the town center. The Redstone School, which was built in 1798, was purchased by Henry Ford and relocated to Sudbury, Massachusetts. It now sits on the grounds of Longfellow's Wayside Inn.In the 1830s, Lowell Mason set the nursery rhyme to a melody written by Mozart, adding repetition in the verses (artpaul)
  • Song Lyrics:
    Hi, I'm Art Paul Schlosser and I just did some Buddy Holly Cheesehead songs and now I'm gonna do some Art Paul Schlosser covers and this one here is called Mary Had a Big Lamb

    Mary had a big lamb
    A big lamb, a big lamb
    Mary had a big lamb
    It was 60 feet tall

    And everywhere that Mary went,
    Mary went, Mary went,
    Everywhere that Mary went
    People said look out it might fall

    It followed her to school one day
    School one day, school one day
    It followed her to school one day
    It was against the rules.

    It made the kids laugh and play,
    Laugh and play, laugh and play,
    It made the kids laugh and play
    To see the gigantic lamb smash the school
