Part 1 — "JOHNNY SHALL HAVE A NEW BONNET"
Reading edition
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 foot for a shoe; And he has a kiss for his daddy, And one for his mammy, too.
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?
