Excerpt

RIDE A COCK-HORSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ride a Cock-Horse
to Banbury Cross,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To see a fine Lady
Get on a white Horse,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With rings on her fingers,
and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A FARMER WENT TROTTING
UPON HIS GREY MARE

 

 

 

A Farmer went trotting upon his grey Mare,
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
With his Daughter behind him, so rosy and fair;
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Raven cried "Croak!" and they all tumbled down;
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
The Mare broke her knees and the Farmer his crown;
Lumpety lumpety, lump!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mischievous Raven flew laughing away;
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
And vowed he would serve them the same the next day;
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
