I had a little hobby horse
This old nursery rhyme is called “I had a little hobby horse” — enjoy your reading!
“I had a little hobby horse,
And it was dapple grey,
Its head was made of pea-straw,
Its tail was made of hay.
I sold it to an old woman
For a copper groat;
And I'll not sing my song again
Without a new coat.”
