FOUNDED ON AN ANECDOTE OF THE FIRST FRENCH REVOLUTION	A
	-
	-
Johnny had a golden head	B
Like a golden mop in blow	C
Right and left his curls would spread	B
In a glory and a glow	C
And they framed his honest face	D
Like stray sunbeams out of place	D
	-
Long and thick they half could hide	E
How threadbare his patched jacket hung	F
They used to be his Mother's pride	E
She praised them with a tender tongue	F
And stroked them with a loving finger	G
That smoothed and stroked and loved to linger	G
	-
On a doorstep Johnny sat	H
Up and down the street looked he	I
Johnny did not own a hat	H
Hot or cold tho' days might be	I
Johnny did not own a boot	J
To cover up his muddy foot	K
	-
Johnny's face was pale and thin	L
Pale with hunger and with crying	M
For his Mother lay within	L
Talked and tossed and seemed a dying	M
While Johnny racked his brains to think	N
How to get her help and drink	N
	-
Get her physic get her tea	I
Get her bread and something nice	O
Not a penny piece had he	I
And scarce a shilling might suffice	O
No wonder that his soul was sad	P
When not one penny piece he had	P
	-
As he sat there thinking moping	M
Because his Mother's wants were many	I
Wishing much but scarcely hoping	M
To earn a shilling or a penny	I
A friendly neighbor passed him by	Q
And questioned him Why did he cry	Q
	-
Alas his trouble soon was told	R
He did not cry for cold or hunger	G
Though he was hungry both and cold	R
He only felt more weak and younger	G
Because he wished so to be old	R
And apt at earning pence or gold	R
	-
Kindly that neighbor was but poor	S
Scant coin had he to give or lend	T
And well he guessed there needed more	U
Than pence or shillings to befriend	T
The helpless woman in her strait	V
So much loved yet so desolate	W
	-
One way he saw and only one	A
He would he could not give the advice	O
And yet he must the widow's son	A
Had curls of gold would fetch their price	O
Long curls which might be clipped and sold	R
For silver or perhaps for gold	R
	-
Our Johnny when he understood	X
Which shop it was that purchased hair	Y
Ran off as briskly as he could	X
And in a trice stood cropped and bare	Y
Too short of hair to fill a locket	Z
But jingling money in his pocket	W
	-
Precious money tea and bread	B
Physic ease for Mother dear	A2
Better than a golden head	B
Yet our hero dropped one tear	Y
When he spied himself close shorn	B2
Barer much than lamb new born	B2
	-
His Mother throve upon the money	I
Ate and revived and kissed her son	A
But oh when she perceived her Johnny	I
And understood what he had done	A
All and only for her sake	C2
She sobbed as if her heart must break	C2
