Little Bo Peep

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them
Leave them alone, and they will come home
Waggling their tails behind them

Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep
And dream she'd heard them bleating
But when she awoke, she found it a joke
For they were still a-fleeting

Then she took up 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 out to dry

She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye
And over hillocks went rambling
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should
To tack again each to its lambkin
