Shepherd Lamba – Lyrics

Chorus
Baa, baa, baa do the shepherd lamba,
Baa, baa, baa dance to Bethlehem.
Baa, baa, baa do the shepherd lamba,
Baa, baa dance to Bethlehem.

Verse 1
Sitting round the campfire
Are shepherds counting their sheep.
Sitting round the campfire
So please don’t fall asleep!

Chorus

Verse 2
Angels came from Heaven
To tell them all the good news.
Angels came from Heaven
There is no time to lose!

Chorus

Verse 3
Go and see the baby
The angels wanted them to.
Go and see the baby
So that’s what they must do!

Chorus

(Repeat last line)
