About Mary Had a Little Lamb (ABG)#
The words to Mary Had a Little Lamb were written by Sarah Josepha Hale and published in 1830 as a poem called Mary’s Lamb. Hale was an influential American editor, and this gentle story of a lamb trailing a girl to school may be her most quoted writing by far, even though few people know her name today.
This arrangement, labeled ABG for its main notes, keeps the opening phrase inside a three-note span from G to B on the six-hole ocarina. That tight range makes it one of the simplest melodies here to pick out by ear.
