Lyrics
I'm a little lame lamb and you fed me,
a little lame lamb and you kept me,
a little lame lamb and you get me!
You're watchin over carefully,
You're watchin over carefully.
Well a big bad bear came to snare me,
a big bad bear came to dare me,
a big bad bear came to scare me.
You shot that big bear down!
You shot that big bear down.
Cuz you're a good, good shepherd, a good, good shepherd, a good, good shepherd over me!
Cuz you're a good, good shepherd, a good, good shepherd, a good, good shepherd over me!
Well a big bad wolf came to steal me,
a big bad wolf came to kill me,
a big bad wolf came to (wolf) me.
Your rod came a tumbling down!
Your rod came a tumbling down.
Cuz you're a good, good shepherd, a good, good shepherd, a good, good shepherd over me!
You're a good, good shepherd, a good, good shepherd, a good, good shepherd over me!
