"Little Bo Peep" or "Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep" is a popular English language nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 6487. ==Lyrics and melody== As with most products of oral tradition, there are many variations to the rhyme. The most common modern version is: :Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep, :and doesn't know where to find them; :leave them alone, And they'll come home, :wagging their tails behind them.〔I. Opie and P. Opie, ''The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes'' (Oxford University Press, 1951, 2nd edn., 1997), pp. 93-4.〕 Common variations on second line include "And can't tell where to find them." The fourth line is frequently given as "Bringing their tails behind them",〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rhymes.org.uk/little_bo_peep.htm )〕 or sometimes "Dragging their tails behind them". This alternative version is useful in the extended version, usually of four further stanzas. The melody commonly associated with the rhyme was first recorded in 1870 by the composer and nursery rhyme collector James William Elliott in his ''National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs''.〔J. J. Fuld, ''The Book of World-Famous Music: Classical, Popular, and Folk'' (Courier Dover Publications, 5th edn., 2000), ISBN 0486414752, p. 502.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Little Bo Peep」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
