WHY MAY NOT I LOVE JOHNNY?, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Johnny shall have a new bonnet Last Line: As well as another body? | |||
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? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
