Northern Ireland version. A line of children advances singing the questions which are answered by another child, behind whom Jinny Jo is hiding.
Jinny Jo
Come to see Jinny Jo, Jinny Jo, Jinny Jo, Came to see Jinny Jo, is she within? Jinny Jo's washing clothes, etc., can't see her today. Ironing clothes, etc.
Sick in bed, etc. Dead and gone, etc.
What shall we dress her in, etc., Shall it be red? Red is for soldiers- Blue is for sailors- Black for mourners- White is for the dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone, White is for the dead and gone so that will just do,
Ends up much like the Newell version, printed one hundred years earlier.
