Mother Goose' Little Boy Blue

They have poor Little Boy Blue tending sheep That's why he got tired and fell asleep, Other kids on the court Shooting hoops playing sport, He's scared of his dad and won't say a peep. Well the cows went and eat up all the corn And they want poor Boy Blue to blow his horn, Why 'twas not a drum set Or guitar, better yet, The cows and the sheep to him would be drawn. Didn't his parents know the Child Labor Laws Or somebody forgot to read that clause Protective Services Should be called into this, They should hire workers to meet that cause.
