Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for the master
One for the dame
And one for the little boy
Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full.
The song Baa-Baa Black Sheep is a classic nursery rhyme that has been popular for generations. The lyrics start with a question addressed to a black sheep - "Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?" - and the sheep responds with confidence, "Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full." This conversation is repeated again in the second verse, which adds a bit of flavor to the song when we find out who the wool will be given to.
The third and fourth lines reveal that there are indeed three bags of wool, and one bag each will be given to the master, the dame, and the little boy who lives down the lane. The simple language and easy-to-follow storyline make this song a favorite among young children, who often sing along and repeat the lyrics.
