Johnny Shall Have A New Bonnet

: RIDING SONGS for FATHER'S KNEE
: Boys And Girls Bookshelf

Johnny shall have a new bonnet,

And Johnny shall go to the fair,

And Johnny shall have a new 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 is a foot 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?
