I've puzzled over the lyrics of this song for awhile - the E.C. & Ona Ball version of it. As best I can determine, Ona is singing, e.g.,
I won't wear green, for it's shame to be seen I'll buy me a folly-rolly tilly-tolly seek a double use a causa (?) roll, to bind me Roll, Jenny Jenkins roll.
Is the "folly-rolly..." part a nonsense thing, like a children's game lyric? The message seems to be about female assertiveness (or perhaps fickleness), as Jenny rejects all the colors offered by her beau ("Will you wear green, my dear old, dear old, will you wear green, Jenny Jenkins?"). She *seems* to be saying she's got some other plan in mind, maybe that she's going to buy her own dress - but what do the words mean? Any insights anyone has would be greatly appreciated!
