I found a version of this song as I was going through my tape collection today. Unfortunately, I managed somehow to avoid recording the first verse. Anyone know what it is? Here's what seems to be the second verse, maybe it's the third or fourth, who knows.

The first to come down was dressed in red/ The second one dressed in green/ And the third to come down was Lord Daniel's wife/ Fair as any queen
