Jenny Jenkins

Lyrics

(Folk song)

1. Oh will you wear red, oh my dear, oh my dear,
Oh will you wear red, Jenny Jenkins?
Well, I won’t wear red; it’s the color of my head

Refrain
I’ll buy me a foldy roldy tildy toldy
Seek a double use a cause a roll a find me
Oh, roll Jenny Jenkins roll!

2. Oh will you wear white, oh my dear…
No, I won’t wear white for the color’s too bright. Refrain

3. Will you wear blue, oh my dear…
No, I won’t wear blue ’cause blue won’t do. Refrain

4. Will you wear pink, oh my dear…
No, I won’t wear pink, I’d rather drink ink. Refrain

5. Will you wear green, oh my dear…
No, I won’t wear green, it’s the color of a bean. Refrain

6. Will you wear rose, oh my dear…
No, I won’t wear rose, it’s the color of my nose. Refrain

I love this song! I could sing this all day. My friends are calling me childish because of this!

Jerry Garcia recorded this on a CD with other similar songs with David Grisman. That makes it cool. Tell them that!
