Nursery Rhyme : Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep is one of the popular English nursery rhymes.

 

Lyrics

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn't know where to find them;

Leave them alone, And they'll come home,
Dragging 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 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 tack each again to its lambkin.

Another version has the first verse as:

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone, And they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
