Author: I. D. K. Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #179 (1916) First Line: My name, you see, is Kitty Refrain First Line: Apples, for a penny Lyrics: 1 My name, you see, is Kitty, I've just come from the city To sing this little ditty, And pleas you, one and all. I bro't along my basket, My little jeweled casket; My business- do not ask it, For I'm going to explain. Chorus: Apples, for a penny, Here's your fine strawberries, Peaches, plums and cherries, You may taste before you buy; Apples, for a penny, Here's your fine strawberries, Peaches, plums and cherries, You may taste before you buy. 2 Only just a penny, You know you have so many; I really haven't any, As you can plainly see. My heart is nearly breaking, For nothing I am making; I feel like one forsaken, So I'll bid you all adieu. [Chorus] Topics: Children's Songs Languages: English Tune Title: [My name you see is Kitty]
