I have a bonnet trimmed with blue

I have a bonnet trimmed with blue. Do you wear it? Yes, I do. I will wear it when I can, going to the ball with my young man. My young man has gone to sea, but when he comes back he'll play for me. Tip to the heel and tip to the toe and that's the way the Polka goes. I have a bonnet trimmed with blue. Do you wear it? Yes, I do. I will wear it when I can, going to the ball with my young man.
