O will you wear white, O my dear, O my dear? O will you wear white, Jennie Jenkins? I won't wear white, for the colour's too bright. (Chorus) I'll buy me a fol-di-rol-dy, til-di-tol-dy, seek a double, use a cause-a-roll to bind me. Roll, roll, roll, Jennie Jenkins, roll. O will you wear red, O my dear, O my dear? O will you wear red, Jennie Jenkins? I won't wear red, its the colour of my head. O will you wear green, O my dear, O my dear? O will you wear green, Jennie Jenkins? I won't wear green, its a shame to be seen. O will you wear blue, O my dear, O my dear? O will you wear blue, Jennie Jenkins? I won't wear blue, I'd be just like you.

Roud 731. I'd guess this example to be from the Lomax collection, but I can't check that at the moment. | ||
