I found this one, Hope this helps.

RAGGEDY ANN IS MY BEST FRIEND

Raggedy Ann is my best friend
She's just so relaxed
Just watch her bend
First from the waist
Then from the knee
Her arms are swinging
Oh, so free
Her head rolls around
Like a rubber ball
She hasn't any bones at all
But Raggedy Ann
Can stand up tall.

Hi, I have a pattern for them in an old Annie's Attic booklet...I started working on the ann and just couldn't get the foot right! For the life of me I could NOT get the foot to go with the instructions! I will dig through my closet tomorrow and look for it...it's probably sitting right next to ann with no feet! :-)

shoes for 36' raggedy ann

I have made a 36" raggedy ann doll for a birthday present. She is not exactly raggedy ann, she is a clown. I managed to design and make a petticoat and even a cumberbun for her but the shoes are impossible. I have tried little girls shoes, size 6 is fine for the sole of the shoe but her feet are very fat, too much foot and not enough toes. I have considered using the soles and trying to make a sandal with straps to hold them on her feet but my time is running short. I have to ship her next week. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any advise appreciated. Thanks, Wanda

Raggedy dolls

I made several sets of the 12" Raggedy Anne and Andys. Since they have small faces I used the embroidery feature on my Husqvarna and sewed one small heart for the mouth and then did 2 small black triangles for the eyes, and also one pink triangle for the nose. I used iron-on interfacing on the backs of the faces to give the face some body for the stitching. It's one great way to make them all the same if you are doing sets. You can also do them production style and do all the mouths, then eyes, then noses. It saves time when you don't have to keep changing thread colors. I will have to tell you that the clothes are so small you will spend more time on them than the dolls themselves. They were really cute though and I had no problems selling them.

I know that this comes a little late, but I was also recently looking for this poem and found it. I just love this poem. Hopes this helps anyone who is looking.
My Raggedy Ann
We've played a lot together, Raggedy Ann,
As playmates often do
I always shared my dreams
With no one else but you.
Each night my prayers were whispered
As I snuggled with you by my side
On stormy nights, the thunder
Made us cover up and hide.
Now your eyes have both grown weary
And your arm is slightly torn,
Your cuddly body is tattered
And your nose is mashed and worn.
We did so much together, Raggedy Ann
The years, Oh how they flew
And I cherish every memory
Of growing up with you.
