lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green
when i am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen
who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so?
was my own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so
call up your men, dilly dilly, set them to work
some to the plow, dilly dilly, some to the fork
some to make hay, dilly dilly, some to cut corn
while you and i, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm
lavender's green, dilly dilly, lavender's blue
if you love me, dilly dilly, i will love you
let the birds sing, dilly dilly, and the lambs play
we shall be safe, dilly dilly, out of harm's way
i love to dance, dilly dilly, i love to sing
when i am queen, dilly dilly, you'll be my king
who told me so, dilly dilly, who told me so?
i told myself, dilly dilly, i told me so
