Thread Name: Childhood Song in Canada-All alone went Johnny
Subject: Childhood Song in Canada
When I was a child going to school in Ontario, Canada in the early 1960's and in about Grade 3 we used to sing a song that I don't remember the title of or all the verses. I have never been able to track it down in children's song books so hopefully someone might recall the name of it and all the verses. Also, don't know if it was a song only taught to Canadian school children or not.
Here is what I remember and it went something like this,

All alone for a loaf of bread
All alone went Johnny
Watch the traffic his mother said
Yes, answered Johnny
But he forgot what his mother said
And he forgot the light was red
He felt a big bump
And he thought he was dead
??????????????????
??????????????????

I believe it was a song to teach safety to children when crossing the street.
That's all I can remember, although I know there were more verses.
If anyone knows who wrote it, the name of the song and the complete song verses, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.
