Baa Baa Black Sheep was written to go against taxes. In the middle ages, there would be an hard working peasant was required to give 1/3 of his income to the king ( which was "my master"). And then another third to a fat nobility ( which was " my dame"). And the final third was for himself ( which was " the little boy"). The term "black sheep" of the family derives form this too.
