<br>

If I Had A Fine White Horse <br>

MARTHA:<br>

If I had a fine white horse, <br>

I'd take you for a ride today,<br>

But since I have no fine white horse,<br>

Inside I'll have to stay,<br>

And empty all the chamber pots<br>

And scrub the floors and such.<br>

But what's there to do on a fine white horse?<br>

It seems to me not much!<br>

<br>

If I had a wooden boat, <br>

I'd take you for a sail today,<br>

But since I have no wooden boat,<br>

Inside I'll have to stay,<br>

And catch and kill the mice<br>

And pluck the chickens for the cook,<br>

But what's there to do on a wooden boat?<br>

But sit up straight and look?<br>

<br>

And worry our boat will start to drift,<br>

And float us out to sea,<br>

And land us in an isle of gold! <br>

Oh dear, oh dearie me!<br>

<br>

If I had a chambermaid,<br>

I'd take you out to play today.<br>

They say that there's a maze<br>

Where once you enter, there you stay.<br>

For certain we'd get lost<br>

And they'd come looking for our bones,<br>

And find us sometime late next week,<br>

And bring us tea and scones.<br>

<br>

But what if there's a clan of<br>

Trolls a-campin 'neath the tree?<br>

Or what if there's a pirate's cave?<br>

Oh dear, oh dear! Oh dearie me!<br>

<br>

If I wasn't so afraid,<br>

I'd take you out the door today,<br>

But talking birds and tales of<br>

Fairies keep me scared away.<br>

And yes, I promised not to tell what<br>

Else is there, although<br>

If in the maze you chance to see<br>

A garden guarded by a tree,<br>

And meet a bird who speaks to thee,<br>

Then come and tell my fine white horse<br>

And me.<br>

<br>
