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 my dame
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
Baa Baa Black Sheep Alternative Lyrics
Baa Baa white sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes Sir, Yes Sir, three bags full
One for my master
and One for my Dame
And one for the little boy with holes in his socks!
Short Version
Baa, baa black sheep
Have you any fear
No sir, No sir
God is near.
He never slumbers He never sleeps
He is always looking after this little sheep
Short Version
Baa Baa Pink Sheep
Have you andy spots
Yes sir yes sir
Lots and lots
Some on my fingers
And some on my toes
And some on the end of my pink fluffy nose
Additional Version
Baa, baa black sheep
Have you any cotton
No sir, no sir
It's all gone rotten.
None for the master
And none for the dame
And none for the little boy
Who fell down the drain.
A lovely version which teaches good manners
Thank you says the master,
Thank you says the dame,
Thank you says the little boy who lives down the lane.

The song is nice but the picture shows a sheep smoking which is not good for children. They might think it is ok to smoke.

summary a squirrel sees a sheep smoking a pipe and finds out that the sheep is selling wool to a family he then delivers the wool
By Moggle from Australia on 19 November 2010
Apparantly 'baa baa black sheep' is racist so we have to sing 'baa baa rainbow sheep'. Which is stupid. Rainbow doesn't fit and makes the whole song seem stupid. They're destroying our childhood!

By Pepper from United Kingdom on 19 November 2011
Sorry Abigail, it's you who is wrong! The original rhyme was printed in UK in 1744 in the 'Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book' and was originally written: Bah, Bah a black Sheep, Have you any wool?, Yes merry have I, Three Bags full, One for my master, One for my Dame, One for the little Boy that lives down the lane. The original tune is what we now use for 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'
