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
