Miriam had a diminutive ewe,
Diminutive ewe,diminutive ewe,
Miriam had a diminutive ewe,
Its wool was blanched as snow
And all places that Miriam traversed,
Miriam traversed, Miriam traversed,
All places that Miriam traversed
The ewe was sure to go
It stalked her to cheder one day
Cheder one day, cheder one day
It stalked her to cheder one day
Which was against the rules.
It made the children giggle and play,
Giggle and play, giggle and play,
It made the children giggle and play
To see a ewe at cheder
And so the morah turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the morah turned it out,
But still it lingered near
And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Miriam did appear
“Why does the ewe love Miriam so?”
Love Miriam so? Love Miriam so?
“Why does the ewe love Miriam so?”
The eager children cry
“Why, Miriam loves the ewe, you know.”
Loves the ewe, you know, loves the ewe, you know
“Why, Miriam loves the ewe, you know.”
The morah did reply
