I've heard it with "no shoes or stockings" often enough.

And here's a verse about a Green Linnet from William Wordsworth:

One have I marked, the happiest guest
In all this covert of the blest:
Hail to Thee, far above the rest
In joy of voice and pinion!
Thou, Linnet! in thy green array,
Presiding Spirit here today,
Dost lead the revels of the May;
And this is thy dominion.
