Little Sarah she stood by her grandmother's bed,<BR>
'And what shall I get for your breakfast?' she said;<BR>
'You shall get me a Johnny-cake: quickly go make it,
In one minute mix, and in two minute bake it.'<BR>
<BR>
So Sarah she went to the closet to see<BR>
If yet any meal in the barrel might be.<BR>
The barrel had long time been empty as wind;<BR>
Not a speck of the bright yellow meal could she find.

But grandmother's Johnny-cake - still she must make it,<BR>
In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it.<BR>
<BR>
She ran to the shop; but the shopkeeper said,<BR>
'I have none - you must go to the mille, fair maid;<BR>
'For he has a mill, and he'll put the corn to it,<BR>
And grind you some nice yellow meal in a minute;

But run, or the Johnny-cake, how will you make it,<BR>
In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it?'<BR>
<BR>
Then Sarah she ran every step of the way;<BR>
But the miller said, 'No, I have no meal today;<BR>
Run, quick, to the cornfield, just over the hill,<BR>
And if any be there, you may fetch it to mill.

She ran to the cornfield - the corn had not grown,<BR>
Though the sun in the blue sky all pleasantly shone.<BR>
'Pretty sun', cried the maiden, 'please make the corn grow.'<BR>
'Pretty maid', the sun answered, 'I cannot do so.'

Then Sarah looked round, and she saw what was wanted;<BR>
The corn could not grow, for no corn had been planted.

Shee asked of the farmer to sow her some grain,<BR>
But the farmer he laughed till his sides ached again.<BR>
'Ho! ho! for the Johnny-cake - how can you make it,<BR>
In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it?'<BR>
<BR>
The farmer he laughed, and he laughed out aloud, - <BR>
'And how can I plant till the earth has been ploughed?

Run, run to the ploughman, and bring him with speed;<BR>
He'll plough up the ground, and I'll fill it with seed.'<BR>
<BR>
Away, then, ran Sarah, still hoping to make it,<BR>
In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it.

The ploughman he ploughed, and the grain it was sown,<BR>
And the sun shed his rays till the corn was all grown;<BR>
It was ground at the mill, and again in her bed<BR>
These words to poor Sarah the grandmother said:<BR>
'You shall get me a Johnny-cake - quickly go make it,<BR>
In one minute mix, andin two minutes bake it.'
