Сhildren's folklore - "Lady on the White Horse to Banbury Cross".

Banbury the English town in Oxfrodshire.

The present Banbury Cross, now the centrepiece of the roundabout, was erected by the people of Banbury in 1859 to celebrate the marriage of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter.

One explanation of the “cock horse” is the children’s hobby horse and Banbury holds a Hobby Horse Festival in the first weekend of July each year, with a parade of Hobby Horse “beasts” through the town and Hobby Horse races held in People’s Park.

Lyrics:

"Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross,

To see a fine lady on a white horse,

With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,

She shall have music wherever she goes".
