RIDE A COCK-HORSE TO BANBURY CROSS
Ride a Cock-Horseto Banbury Cross,
To see a fine LadyGet on a white Horse,
With rings on her fingers,and bells on her toes,She shall have music wherever she goes.
A FARMER WENT TROTTINGUPON 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!
