Summary: This is nursery rhymes about a black sheep.

Bah! Bah! Black sheep,

Have you any wool?

Yes, marry, have I,

Three bags full.

One for my master,

One for my dame,

But none for the little boy

Who cries in the lane.

More recent version: (oral tradition)

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