Where does the quotation If wishes were horses the beggars would be kings come from?

The quotation is incorrect. It's a nursery rhyme, but the correct one is more like is "if wishes were horses then beggars would ride." HOWEVER, there's a Bryan Adams song that not only uses that quote, but has another line, "in a land full of promises and kings".

The Book of 1 Kings says that Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. The Bible also tells us that the kings of Judah kept horses dedicated to the sun and there were chariots for the sun god kept in the Temple until they were eventually removed by King Josiah as inimical to monotheism (2 Kings 23:11).
