The Song of Colors

The first time I met her in blue
All in blue, all in blue
I fucked her through and through
Down in the valley where she followed me

Next time I met her, I met her in red
All in red, all in red
I took her maidenhead
Down in the valley where she followed me

Next time I met her, I met her in green
All in green, all in green
I fucked her on the green
Down in the valley where she followed me

Next time I met her, I met her in black
All in black, all in black
I fucked her on her back
Down in the valley where she followed me

Next time I met her, I met her in pink
All in pink, all in pink
Oh what a fucking stink
Down in the valley where she followed me.

March 21, 1960. From the singing of Jean Robertson, New Pitsligo (Scotland).

Listen here: https://egrove.olemiss.edu/kgreels_uk/70/

Song is at the 14:30 mark



Of course, this song shares many of the verses of "I knew a lady dressed in Red".
