A Farmer went trotting upon his grey mare

Ride a Cock-Horse to Banbury Cross

Ride a Cock-Horse to Banbury Cross,

To see a fine Lady
Get on a white Horse,

With rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.

A Farmer went trotting upon his grey Mare;
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
With his Daughter behind him, so rosy and fair;
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!

A Raven cried "Croak!" and they all tumbled down;
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
The Mare broke her knees and the Farmer his crown;
Lumpet, lumpety, lump!

The mischievous Raven flew laughing away;
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
And vowed he would serve them the same the next day;
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
