Baa Baa Black Sheep
Raffi (Family) Lyrics

The lyrics to Raffi's version of "Baa Baa Black Sheep" are based on the classic nursery rhyme with the same name. The song is a playful conversation between a child and a sheep, asking if it has any wool. The sheep responds, "Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full," indicating that it does indeed have wool. The wool is then divided up among different people, including the sheep's master, the master's dame, a little boy who lives down the lane, and a little girl who lives down the lane.

This nursery rhyme and song have been a part of children's culture for centuries. The song is thought to originate from England, and the earliest recording of it dates back to the early 18th century. The song has since been adapted and changed many times, with numerous versions recorded in different languages and cultures around the world.

While the song may seem simple and straightforward at first glance, there are many interpretations and underlying meanings that can be drawn from the lyrics. Some interpretations suggest that the song represents the class struggles of the time, with the master and dame representing the wealthy upper class and the little boy and girl representing the common people.
