DAPPLE GRAY 1. I had a little pony, They ca'd it Dapple Gray; I lent it to a lady, To ride a mile away. She whipped it, she lashed it, She ca'd it owre the brae; I winna lend my pony mair, Though a' the ladies pray. 2. I had a little hobby-horse, His mane was dapple-gray, His head was made o' pease-strae, His tail was made o' hay. ________________________________________________________ (1) Chambers PRS (1847), 180; (1870), 19, whence Ford CR 22, Montgomerie SNR 85 (no. 103) [2.4 Gin].
