Black Joker/Black, White, Yellow and Green Lyrics by Shirley Collins

Amaranth

0

There was an old woman who kept fat hogs
She made plum puddings to poison the dogs
They were black, white, yellow and green
She took them, put them in the pot
Boiled them until they were blazing hot
They were black, white, yellow and green
Black, white, yellow and green
Black, white, yellow and green
The crudest plum puddings that ever was seen
They were black, white, yellow and green
She took a pin and pricked the skin
The gravy ran out and thе maggots ran in
They were black, whitе, yellow and green
She took them, put them on the floor
They each in turn ran out of the door
They were black, white, yellow and green
Black, white, yellow and green
Black, white, yellow and green
The crudest plum puddings that ever was seen
They were black, white, yellow and green
She put them on the fire to cook
They did the black joke, were covered in soot
Black, white, yellow and green
She took them, put them up on the shelf
If you want any more, you can see to yourself
Black, white, yellow and green
Black, white, yellow and green
Black, white, yellow and green
The crudest plum puddings that ever was seen
They were black, white, yellow and green
