Hi - I typed in the lyrics to the Texas Gladden version in this thread. (Maybe that's what you were saying you found?)

You can also find a few versions of this song (and related lullabies) at the library of congress/american memory site by typing in "all the pretty little horses" here .

I really like JL Goree's "Pretty Little Ponies". Note that each page that gives you the mp3 also tells you where to look in the field notes for more info and lyrics.

In the other thread, people talked about the origins of this song. Since then, I've been thinking that perhaps those origins (singer is listening to her own baby unattended) are only really for the lambie verse (and versions of the song containing it). Perhaps the lullaby already existed and was personalized with that expressive verse?
