   “My horsey is white altho' at first he was bay...”

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   My horsey is white altho' at first he was bay
   He took great delight in travelling by night and by day
   His travels were great if I could but the half of them tell
   He was rode in the garden by Adam the day that he fell.
   When banished from Eden my horse he was losing his way
   And from all his fatigues no wonder that now he is grey
   At the time of the flood he was rode by many a spark
   And his courage was good when Noah shut him up in the ark
   In Babylon's plains he ran in great speed for the plate
   He was hunted next day it was said by Nimrod the Great
   And he was hunted next day in the chase of a fox
   When Necabudnaggar ate grass in the shape of an ox.
   They conducted him home straighway to Babylon town
   The king was restored once more and solemnly (?)
   He was with King Paul and all his troubles went through
   And he was with King David the day that Goliath he slew
   He followed Moses who rode him through the Red Sea
   They then left him out and he sensibly galloped away
   He was with King Pharao in Egypt when fortune did smile
   Who rode him very stately along the banks of the Nile
   When the Jews remained in chains and mercy implored
   King Cyprus proclaimed again to have them restored
   He was in Judea when Judas Macabees the Great
   Who rode on my horse as the ancient historians relate
   When the poor captive Jews this news received with joy
   My horse got new shoes and pursued his journey to Troy
