ALL THE PRETTY LITTLE HORSES
(Barbara Ruth Dickson / Danny Thompson)

Barbara Dickson
recorded 1995


Hushabye,
Don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you awake,
You will have cake,
All the pretty little horses!

Black and bay,
Dapple and grey,
Coach and six little horses.
Hushabye,
Don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.

Way down yonder,
Down in the meadow,
There's a poor little lamby.
The bees and the butterflies
Peckin' out his eyes,
The poor little thing cried "Mammy!"

Hushabye,
Don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you awake,
You will have cake,
All the pretty little horses!
