| Little Bo-Peep |
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn't know where to find them;
Leave them alone,
And they'll come home,
Bringing 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 a-fleeting.
Then 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 went over hill and dale, O!
And tried what she could
As a shepherdess should
To tack to each sheep its tail, O!.
