Little Bo Peep

Testo 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,
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’d left their tales behind them.

It happened one day, as Bo Peep did stray
Into a meadow hard 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 what she could, as a shepherdess should,
To tack each again to its lambkin.
