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

 

But when she awoke she found it a joke

For they were still a-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 tales behind them

 

It happened one day as Bo Peep did stray

Into a meadow near by

 

There she espied their tales 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 as she could as a shepherdess should

To tack each again to its lambki
