Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep is a nursery rhyme.

Lyrics
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 up she took her little crook

Determined for to find them

She found them indeed but it made her heart bleed

For they left their tails behind them.

It happened one day as Bo Peep did stray

Into a meadow close 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 again each to its lambkin.

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.
