A lone pony tethered in the horizontal rain
At the mercy of a master
Measures all our pain
But it’s not the wet that gets them
It’s the wind that does for horses
The ear high, the wider eye,
And greater when the force is
But along comes Molly now, squinting in the low sun
Walk along with me now, walk along
Shoulder by shoulder, in it for the long run
Walk along with me now, walk along
Along they come trotting, wickering
Cheeky mares, snickering
Walk along with me now, walk along
An extra guinea for every roll at the horse fair dickering *
Walk along with me now, walk along
* Amongst the Gypsy horse dealers of North Lincolnshire (maybe other places too), there was a lore which said a horse or pony would gain an extra guinea in value for each time it could roll from side to side

Three of the most talented folk/roots/acoustic artists currently at the very top of their game. Spoiler alert; is Spanish Lady actually about Catherine of Aragon or have I been reading too much Hilary Mantel? ***** bass_campdelta
