    I had a little hobby horse and it was dapple gray,
    Its head was made of pea-straw
    its tail was made of hay,
    I sold it to an old woman for a copper goat,
    And I will not sing my song again without a new coat.
    Maura T. McKee.
    A diller a dollar,
    A ten a clock scholar,
    What makes you come so soon?
    You used to come at morn,
    But now you come at noon.
    Maura T. McKee.

    A milking A milking my maid,
    Cow take care of your heels she said,
    And you will get some nice hay,
    If you will quietly let me milk away. Maura T. McKee.
    There was an old woman lived under a hill,
    And if she is not gone she lives there still.
    Maura T. McKee.
