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.
