COURTSHIP by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "I LOVE THEE, BETTY / DO'ST THOU, JOHNNY?"
Last Line: "HEY, I WISH IT WAS SUNDAY THEN"

I LOVE thee, Betty,
Do'st thou, Johnny?
Hey, but I wonder where!
In my heart, Betty.
In thy heart, Johnny?
Thou never yet made it appear.

But I'll wed thee, Betty.
Wed me, Johnny?
Hey, but I wonder when!
On Sunday, Betty.
On Sunday, Johnny?
Hey, I wish it was Sunday then.
