        And here's my own doll, Dowsy.

    Shoe the colt, shoe!
        Shoe the wild mare;
    Put a sack on her back,
        See if she'll bear.

        We'll give her some grains;
    If she won't bear,
        We'll dash out her brains!

        To see what Tommy can buy;
    A penny white loaf, a penny white cake,
        And a twopenny apple-pie.
