A Book of Nursery Songs and Rhymes/Nursery Jingles/LII.

by Sabine Baring-Gould

I had a little husband no bigger than my thumb,
I put him in a pint-pot and told him there to drum.
I bought a little horse that galloped up and down,
I bridled him and saddled him, and sent him out of town.
I gave him yellow garters to garter up his hose,
And little silken handkerchief for the wiping of his nose.
