About this tune
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep is a nursery rhyme about sharing three bags of wool. A simple question and answer lead into a list of the people who receive them.
Repeated notes give the words a clear rhythm. The opening climbs from D to B, then the answer descends step by step; shorter notes carry the busier second half of the verse.
