Seventeen Come Sunday (Stockings white and shoes black bright) -sung by Allan Wardill of Goathland, Yorkshire on December 11, 1892, collected F. Kidson.

Stockings white and shoes black bright,
And her buckles shone lie silver
She had a dark and rolling eye,
And her hair was on her shoulder,

CHORUS: With my fal-lal-la fal-la-la-la
Fal-lal-lal, la, la.
