Around The Green Gravel

Around the green gravel the grass grows green,
And all the pretty maids are plain to be seen;
Wash them with milk, and clothe them with silk,
And write their names with a pen and ink.

    A variant:

    All around the green gravel,
    The grass grows so green,
    And all the pretty maids are fit to be seen;
    Wash them in milk,
    Dress them in silk,
    And the first to go down shall be married.
