10 LITTLE BO-PEEP

Little Bo-Peep

Has lost her sheep,

And can not tell

Where to find them.

Leave them alone,

And they will come home,

And bring their tails

Behind them.

BO-PEEP: Good morning, Boy Blue!

I have lost my sheep.

BOYBLUE: Have you looked for them?

BO-PEEP: Yes, I have looked for them.

BOYBLUE: Did you look in the corn?

BO-PEEP: Yes. They were not there.

BOYBLUE: Come with me to the meadow.

We will look for them there.

BOYBLUE: I hear your sheep, Bo-Peep!

I see them, too.

BO-PEEP: Oh, yes! There they are!

They are in the meadow.

I will take them to the barn.

BOYBLUE: I will go with you, Bo-Peep.

BO-PEEP: Thank you, Little Boy Blue.

Bring your horn with you.

(Mother Goose)
