Will you wear the grey Jennie Jenkins I won't wear the grey for
its the color of the clay So buy me a Tally-wally aye sir.

Will you wear the black Jennie Jenkins
I won't wear the black for the color it is slack
So buy me a Tally-wally aye sir.

Will you wear the red Jennie Jenkins
l won't wear the red for the color I do dread
So buy me a Tally-wally aye sir.

So buy me a Tally-wally aye sir.

So buy me a Tally-wally aye sir.

Will you wear the yellow, oh narrow narrow

So buy me a Tally-wally aye sir.

Yes I'll wear the blue for the color it is true
So buy me a Tally-wally aye sir.
