Stan Jones - Woolly Lamb Song lyrics

Ten woolly lambs on a meadow by the hill When the shepherd started singing they all stood still Hi-li-aye, (hi-li-aye), hi-li-o, (hi-li-o) And the wolf walks slowly through the wheat Eight woolly lambs on a peaceful mountainside For while the shepherd sang two of them had died Hi-li-aye,(hi-li-aye), hi-li-o, (hi-li-o) And the wolf walks slowly through the wheat Six woolly lambs all huddled in a bunch One disappeared for breakfast and another one for lunch Hi-li-aye, hi-li-o And the wolf walks slowly through the wheat Four woolly lambs meet the soft and starry sky The shepherd couldn't sing but oh how he could try Hi-li-aye, (hi-li-aye), hi-li-o, (hi-li-o) And the wolf walked slowly through the wheat Two woolly lambs shiver all night long While the shepherd calmly sang the last verse of his song Hi-li-aye, (hi-li-aye), hi-li-o, (hi-li-o) And the wolf walks slowly through the wheat The ending of this story is sad and most forlorn The woolly lambs had vanished, the shepherd sorry he was born Hi-li-aye, (hi-li-aye), hi-li-o, (hi-li-o) And the wolf has an awful tummy ache
