There Was a Little Nobby Colt
There Was a Little Nobby Colt
Nursery Rhyme
There was a little nobby* colt,
His name was Nobby Gray;
His head was made of pouce straw,
His tail was made of hay.
He could ramble, he could trot,
He could carry a mustard-pot,
Round the town of Woodstock,
Hey, Jenny, hey!
Notes
*Nobby means very elegant or smart.
