JOHN Cook had a little grey mare, He, haw, hum! Her back stood up and her bones were bare, He, haw, hum! John Cook was riding up Shuter's Bank, He, haw, hum! And there his nag did kick and prank, He, haw, hum! John Cook was riding up Shuter's Hill, He, haw, hum! His mare fell down and she made her will, He, haw, hum! The bridle and saddle he laid on the shelf, He, haw, hum! If you want any more you may sing it yourself, He, haw, hum! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL THE LITTLE HOOFPRINTS by ROBINSON JEFFERS ROAN STALLION by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES DANCERS AT THE MOY by PAUL MULDOON CRAZY HORSE SPEAKS: 3 by SHERMAN ALEXIE |
