Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Sheep
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn’t know where to find them
Leave them alone
And they'll come home
Wagging their tails behind them
Little Bo Peep searched for her sheep
But didn’t quite know how to find them
She looked everywhere
From here and to there
But still couldn’t think where to find them
Little Bo Peep began to weep
And lay down to rest for a while
She fell fast asleep
While counting her sheep
Then dreamt they came home with a smile
Little Bo Peep had fallen asleep
And dreamt that she was all alone
But when she awoke
And pulled back her cloak
She saw that her sheep had come home
Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep
And didn’t know where to find them
She left them alone
And they came home
Wagging their tails behind them
"Little Bo Peep" or "Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep" is a popular English language nursery rhyme. The earliest record of this rhyme is in a manuscript of around 1805, which contains only the first verse.[1] There are references to a children's game called "Bo-Peep", from the 16th century, including one in Shakespeare's King Lear (Act I Scene iv), but little evidence that the rhyme existed.
