What shall we dress her in, Dress her in, dress her in ? What shall we dress her in, Dress her in black ?
Black's what the mourners wear, The mourners wear, the mourners wear; Black's what the mourners wear, And that won't do.
What shall we dress her in, Dress her in, dress her in ? What shall we dress her in, Dress her in white ?
White's what the dead wear,
The dead wear, the dead wear;
White's what the dead wear,
And that will do. —Liphook, Hants (Miss Fowler).
XV. Come to see Jinny Jones, Jinny Jones, Come to see Jinny Jones,
And where is she now ?
Jinny is washing, is washing, Jinny is washing,
And you can't see her now.
Very well, very well, lady, lady, Very well, lady, That will do.
[Then follow— (i) starching,
(2) ironing,
(3) dying
(4) dead.]
What shall we follow in, follow in ? What shall we follow in ? We'll follow in blue. |
