I had a little hobby-horse, and it was well shod
This old nursery rhyme is called “I had a little hobby-horse, and it was well shod” — enjoy your reading!
“I had a little hobby-horse, and it was well shod,
It carried me to the mill-door, trod, trod, trod;
When I got there I gave a great shout,
Down came the hobby-horse, and I cried out.
Fie upon the miller, he was a great beast,
He would not come to my house, I made a little feast,
I had but little, but I would give him some,
For playing of his bag-pipes and beating his drum.”
