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,

And bring their tails behind them.

Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,

And dreamed 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 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 track each to its lambkin.

And a comic version

Little Bo Peep has washed her sheep,

They'd got so grey and greasy,

But after a scrub

In a soapy tub

They came out white and fleecy.
