My clothes are all green, green, green,
Everything I have is all green.
That's why I love everything green
Because my beloved is a hunter.

My clothes are all white, white, white,
Everything I have is all white.
That's why I love everything white
Because my beloved is a baker.

My clothes are all black, black, black,
Everything I have is all black.
That's why I love everything black
Because my beloved is a chimney sweep.

My clothes are all red, red, red,
Everything I have is all red.
That's why I love everything red
Because my beloved is a firefighter.
