"Ride A Cock-Horse To Banbury Cross & A Farmer Went Trotting Upon His Grey Mare" is an English nursery rhyme with earliest references dating to 1725. Connected to the town of Banbury in Oxfordshire, this traditional verse has undergone significant transformations over centuries, with its subject shifting from an old woman to a fine lady adorned with bells and rings. The rhyme's unstable early lyrics have sparked considerable speculation about its meaning
and the identity of its mysterious protagonist. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
