Black, White, Yellow and Green

There was an old woman, she kept fat hogs
She made plum puddings, they poisoned the dogs
They were black, white, yellow and green

  Black, white, yellow and green
  The rarest plum puddings you ever have seen
  They were black, white, yellow and green

She took them and dropped them into the pot
She boiled them until they were blazing hot
They were black, white, yellow and green

She baked them until they were blazing red
One was like leather, the other like lead
They were black, white, yellow and green

She took up a pin and pricked the skin
The gravy ran out and the maggots ran in
They were black, white, yellow and green

She took them and put them down on the floor
They each in turn ran out of the door
They were black, white, yellow and green

She took them and put them up on the shelf
If you want any more, you can help yourself
They were black, white, yellow and green
