O li`l` lamb out in de col`,   De Mastah call you to de fol`,           O li`l` lamb!   He hyeah you bleatin` on de hill;   Come hyeah an` keep yo` mou`nin` still,           O li`l` lamb!   De Mastah sen` de Shepud fo`f;   He wandah souf, he wandah no`f,           O li`l` lamb!   He wandah eas`, he wandah wes`;   De win` a-wrenchin` at his breas`,           O li`l` lamb!   Oh, tell de Shepud whaih you hide;   He want you walkin` by his side,           O li`l` lamb!   He know you weak, he know you so`;   But come, don` stay away no mo`,           O li`l` lamb!   An` af`ah while de lamb he hyeah   De Shepud`s voice a-callin` cleah--           Sweet li`l` lamb!   He answah f`om de brambles thick,   "O Shepud, I`s a-comin` quick"--           O li`l` lamb!
