My Dolly, Polly Angelina Brown,

Has a pretty little bonnet, and a pretty little gown;

A pretty little bonnet

With a lovely feather on it;

Oh, there’s not another like it to be found in all the town!

My dolly, Polly, is a precious little pet;

Her eyes are bright as jewels, and her hair as black as jet;

I hug her, and I kiss her!

And oh, how I should miss her

If she were taken from me! Oh how I should grieve and fret!

My little brother, Charley, says my dolly is “a muff,”

And he calls her other horrid names—though that is bad enough;

And though he’s very clever,

I never, no, I never

Let him handle her or dandle her for boys, you know, are rough.

My dolly’s always smiling; she was never known to frown;

And she looks so very charming in her Sunday hat and gown,

You really ought to see her

To get a good idea

Of the beauty of my dolly, Polly Angelina Brown.
