Little Betty Blue
Little Betty Blue
Nursery Rhyme
Little Betty Blue,
Lost her holiday shoe.
What will poor Betty do?
Why, give her another,
To match the other,
And then she will walk in two.
Notes
Here's a similar version from The Real Mother Goose (1916), illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright:
Little Betty Blue
Lost her holiday shoe;
What shall little Betty do?
Give her another
To match the other
And then she'll walk upon two.
