Bertha Had a Little Lamb

Bertha had a little lamb That was Mary's sister And everywhere that Mary went Bertha often missed her See Mary was the oldest child And Bertha well she wasn't And Mary understands her sheep But poor old Bertha doesn't So Bertha had a little lamb Its fleece was black as coal And everywhere that Bertha went She just wouldn't let him go See Bertha was the black sheep And that youngin' even dipped snuff They sent that girl to military school But it just wasn't long enough Now Bertha liked her sister But she knew she had to go Cause Bertha was eatin' her lambchops And she didn't want Mary to know But before she could get rid of Mary They gave her an intervention And if that girl didn't straighten up They'd put her in dentention Well that's the end of my story And Bertha and Mary are just fine Even though a lamb goes missing From their fields from time to time
