The fame of the Canadian Horse,
It is heard on many a course,
For it has won oft in the race,
And renowned for graceful pace.
Great change from the Indian pony,
Who in old times was the only
Horse that you could drive or ride,
Now you have the powerful Clyde.
’Tis true that he is rather slow,
But deep he plows so you may sow,
And over any kind of road
He will pull a mighty load.
Of brutes the horse doth lead the van,
And he is the best friend of man;
Well trained, so gentle and so kind,
And next he ranks to man in mind.
