Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn’t know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they will come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating,
But when she awoke she found it a joke
For they were still all fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them.
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they’d left their tails behind them.
It happened one day as Bo-Peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by.
There she espied their tails side by side
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye
And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
To tack again each to its lambkin.
