Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them
Leave them alone
And they'll come home
Wagging their tails behind them
Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating
And 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, it made her heart beat
For they'd left their tails behind them
It happened one day, as Bo-Peep did stray
Into a green meadow hard by
There she espied their tails, side by side
All hung on a big 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
Bah, bah-bah, bah, bah
