Little Bo Peep

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

Little Bo Peep fell fast asleep,
And dreampt she heard them bleating;
But when she awaoke, she found it a joke,
For still they all were 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 all their tails behind them!

It happened one day, as Bo Peep did stray
Unto 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 she raced;
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
That each tail should be properly placed
