Bessies Song To Her Doll
Matilda Jane, you never
At any toy or picture-book
I show you pretty things in
You must be blind,
Matilda Jane, you never
At any toy or picture-book
I show you pretty things in
You must be blind,
RE were two friends, a very charming pair,
Brunette the brown, and Blanchidine the fair;
And she to love Brunette did constantly incline,
Nor less did Brunette love sweet Blanchidine
IS is the way we dress the Doll:— You may make her a shepherdess, the Doll, If you give her a crook with a pastoral hook, But this is the way we dress the Doll
Bless the Doll, you may press the Doll, But do not crumple and mess the Doll
...
I once had a sweet little doll, dears,
The prettiest doll in the world;
Her cheeks were so red and so white, dears,
And her hair was so charmingly curled
