Another street cry set to rhyme, this one from a seller who wishes he never had to call his lambs for sale. Its repeated refrain gives children something to chime in on.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
If I'd as much money as I could tell,
I never would cry young lambs to sell;
Young lambs to sell, young lambs to sell;
I never would cry young lambs to sell.
