“Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross” is an English nursery rhyme that makes reference to the town of Banbury, Oxfordshire, 64 miles (103 km) northwest of London.
A “cock-horse” can mean a high-spirited horse, and the additional horse to assist pulling a cart or carriage up a hill. It can also mean an entire or uncastrated horse. From the mid-sixteenth century it also meant a toy horse or an adult’s knee used as a horse in a galloping game.

Lyrics
Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.
Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To buy little Johnny a galloping horse;
It trots behind and it ambles before,
Johnny shall ride till he can ride no more.
