New Bonnets

   
I wear petticoats two by two    
one is red and one is blue,    
pretty shoes both buckled by gold    
skip me where'er I go.    
   
Slugs and snails and puppy dog tails    
pet at me but they all fail,    
they will court me where'er they can    
but I'm in love with a pretty gal.    
   
I wear petticoats two by two    
one is red and one is blue,    
one day I am sure we will wed    
with brand new bonnets on our head.
