Johnny Shall Have a New Bonnet.

Reading edition

Illustration from Land of play: Verses, rhymes, stories

Johnny shall have a new bonnet, And Johnny shall go to the fair, And Johnny shall have a blue ribbon To tie up his bonny brown hair. And why may not I love Johnny? And why may not Johnny love me? And why may not I love Johnny As well as another body? And here’s a leg for a stocking, And here’s a leg for a shoe; And he has a kiss for his daddy, And two for his mammy, I trow. And why may not I love Johnny? And why may not Johnny love me? And why may not I love Johnny As well as another body?
