About this song
One of the oldest English nursery rhymes, dating to the 1700s and sung to the same melody as Twinkle Twinkle. A cornerstone of the UK and Canadian nursery canon, its call-and-response structure supports early listening and language.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Sing in a warm, sing-song voice.
- Hold up fingers to count 'three bags full'.
- Pause before 'full' and let your toddler join in.
Lyrics & Rhyme
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.
