I think the phrase is commonly attributed to Shakespeare from his play Othello, in a line spoken by Iago: "I will wear my heart upon my sleeve" [1.1.65]. Of course, Iago's intent was to deceive Othello, but still...
Shakespeare, however, may have gotten it from his knowledge of Middle Ages history, whereby a knight, when dedicating his performance that day to a woman in the court, he wear her colors, or a kerchief or something to tie around his arm that she had given him, to show he was representing her.
Knights from the middle ages would wear the colors that corresponded with the ladies that they loved. It was a way of showing their love to them while in battle.
This phrase originally came from a Shakespeare play called Othello.
"But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve.
For daws to peck at. I am not what I am."
Othello, Act 1, scene 1, 56-65
In the Medieval era, a European knight would tie a kerchief from a lady they were courting around his arm to show that he was fighting for her. Thus, he would be wearing the colors of his 'heart' (the object of his desire) on his sleeve.
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.
It is from Shakespeare's play Othello. Iago uses this phrase to describe Othello's inability to conceal or restrain his emotions.

From Bill Haley & The Comets 1956 The saying was followed with: "In a while crocadile."
If you are saying the ABC's and have said A B C D E F G, the letters H I J... would come next. If you are saying every other letter of the alphabet and have said A C E G, the letters I K M would come next. If you are saying the alphabet backwards and have said Z Y X W, the letters V U T would come next. It all depends on what pattern of letters you are saying which letters would come next.
