Song Intro Image


Little Boy Blue

Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn.
Where is the little boy
That tends the sheep?
He's under the haystack,
Fast asleep.

The first illustration comes from The National Nursery Book and the second is from Kate Greenaway's Mother Goose (1881).

Many thanks to Alix for contributing this nursery rhyme.

Alix translated this rhyme into French for her daughter Julia and sings it very slowly as if a lullaby.
