If "ifs" and "ands"
Were pots and pans,
There would be no need for tinkers!

If wishes were horses,
Beggars might ride;
If turnips were watches,
I'd wear one by my side.

I had a little pony,
His name was Dapple-gray,
I lent him to a lady,
To ride a mile away;
She whipped him, she slashed him,
She rode him through the mire;
I would not lend my pony now
For all that lady's hire.
