O my love, will you wear red?
Will you wear red, Jilly Jenkins?

I won't wear red, for it's the colour of my head
I'll buy me a dillo, wear a double over-dill
I'll buy me a dillo, wear a daisy

O my love, will you wear white?
Will you wear white, Jilly Jenkins?

I won't wear white, for it's much too bright
I'll buy me a dillo, wear a double over-dill
I'll buy me a dillo, wear a daisy

O my love, will you wear green?
Will you wear green, Jilly Jenkins?

I won't wear green, it's not fit to be seen
I'll buy me a dillo, wear a double over-dill
I'll buy me a dillo, wear a daisy

O my love, will you wear blue?
Will you wear green, Jilly Jenkins?

I will wear blue, it's the color that is true
I'll buy me a dillo, wear a double over-dill
I'll buy me a dillo, wear a daisy
