I Met a Girl All in White
1. I met a maid all in white, All in white, all in white, I met a maid all in white, All in white was she. I met a maid all in white, I kept her out all night, Down by the castle where she followed me.
The remaining stanzas follow the same pattern:
2. I met a maid all in blue, I swept her foggy blue.
3. I met a girl all in black, I laid her on her back.
4. I met a girl all in pink, I played her tiddlywink.
