Pete Seeger and Jean Ritchie sing Jenny Jenkins

 

 

      Two old legends of the American folklore. This song is a kissing game. The point is for the girl to rhyme the colour that the boy sings. If he can stump her, he gets a kiss.


Will you wear red?

Oh my dear, oh my dear

Will you wear red, Jenny Jenkins?

No, I won't wear red

It’s the colour of me head.

 

  I'll buy me a folly-rolly, dilly-dally

  Seeka dubble music cause a roll to find me

  Roll, Jenny Jenkins, roll.

 

Will you wear blue?

Oh my dear, oh my dear

Will you wear blue, Jenny Jenkins?

No, I won't wear blue

‘cause the colour right true.

 

Will you wear green?

Oh my dear, oh my dear

Will you wear green, Jenny Jenkins?

No, I won't wear green

It's a shame to be seen.

 

Will you wear orange?

Oh my dear, oh my dear

Will you wear orange, Jenny Jenkins?

No, I won't wear orange

‘cause it’s too strange.
