2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,

Then went o'er hill and dale.
And tried what she could, as a shep-
herdess should,
To tack to each sheeo its tail.
