MOTHER GOOSE'S MELODIES |
||
|
I HAD a little pony,
His name was Dapple Gray, I lent him to a lady,
To ride a mile away.
She whipp'd him, she lash'd him, She rode him through the mire; I would not lend my pony now ■ For all the lady's hire.
SEE a pin and pick it up.
All the day you'll have good luck;
See a pin and let it lay,
Bad luck you'll have all the day!
BARNABY BRIGHT he was a sharp cur, He always would bark if a mouse did but stir; But now he's grown old, and can no longer bark, He's condemn'd by the parson to be hang'd by the clei k.
