I Have A Little Pony is based on a traditional English poem and song, entitled “I Had A Little Pony, His Name Was Dapple Grey.”

I Had a Little Pony, His Name Was Dapple Grey

I had a little pony, His name was Dapple Grey,
I lent him to a lady, To ride a mile away.

She whipped him, she slashed him, She rode him through the mire;
I would not lend my pony now, For all the lady’s hire.

The original lyrics are not very nice at all, as it is about mistreatment of a poor pony!

However, this song does not have these lyrics!

This is a great song for teaching Tempo, as the tempo in the second half of the song speeds up and then slows down again. There is also the use of a pause, where one word is held.

Teaching Points: tempo; fast; slow; pause; drama; movement.
