Baa Baa black sheep的旋律與Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star、ABC song相同。此曲最初版本的歌詞可追溯到17世紀,如今雖是一首家喻戶曉的童謠,但原歌詞的創作源頭可能與當時的羊毛稅政策有關。

Three bags full.
One for the master,
One for the dame,
And one for the little boy.
Who lives down the lane.

Falling down, falling down,
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair Lady.
