I Had a Little Pony,
His Name Was Dapple Grey

I Had a Little Pony, - His Name Was Dapple Grey  - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


I had a little pony,
His name was Dapple Grey,
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 the lady's hire.

Notes

Here's another version:

I had a little pony
They called it Dapple Gray,
I lent it to a lady
To ride a mile away.
She whipped it, she slashed it,
She drove it through the mire.
I will not lend my pony more,
For all the ladies' hire.
