LITTLE BO-PEEP AND LITTLE
BOY-BLUE

 

"What have you done with your sheep,
Little Bo-Peep?
What have you done with your sheep,
Bo-Peep?"
"Little Boy Blue, what fun!
I've lost them, every one!"
"Oh, what a thing to have done,
Little Bo-Peep!"

"What have you done with your sheep,
Little Boy Blue?
What have you done with your sheep,
Boy Blue?"
"Little Bo-Peep, my sheep
Went off, when I was asleep."
"I'm sorry about your sheep,
Little Boy Blue."

"What are you going to do,
Little Bo-Peep?
What are you going to do,
Bo-Peep?
"Little Boy Blue, you'll see
They'll all come home to tea."
"They wouldn't do that for me,
Little Bo-Peep."

"What are you going to do,
Little Boy Blue?
What are you going to do,
Boy Blue?"
"Little Bo-Peep, I'll blow
My horn for an hour or so."
"Isn't that rather slow,
Little Boy Blue?"

"Whom are you going to marry,
Little Bo-Peep?
Whom are you going to marry,
Bo-Peep?"
"Little Boy Blue, Boy Blue,
I'd like to marry you."
"I think I should like it too,
Little Bo-Peep."

"Where are we going to live,
Little Boy Blue?
Where are we going to-live,
Boy Blue?
"Little Bo-Peep, Bo-Peep,
Up in the hills with the sheep."
"And you'll love your little Bo-Peep,
Little Boy Blue?"

"I'll love you for ever and ever,
Little Bo-Peep.
I'll love you for ever and ever,
Bo-Peep."
"Little Boy Blue, my dear,
Keep near, keep very near."
"I shall be always here,
"Little Bo-Peep.”
