Baa Baa Black Sheep - lyrics and music video

"Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" is an English nursery rhyme, the earliest surviving version of which dates from 1731. The words have changed little in two and a half centuries. It is sung to a variant of the 1761 French melody Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman.

The rhyme is usually sung to a variant of the 1761 French melody Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman, which is also used for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and the "Alphabet song". The words and melody were first published together by A. H. Rosewig in (Illustrated National) Nursery Songs and Games, published in Philadelphia in 1879.


Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full.
 
One for my master
And one for the dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
