Lavender's Blue
Charlotte Lawrence
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?
'Twas mine own heart, dilly-dilly, that told me so
Call up your men, dilly-dilly, set them to work
Some to plough, dilly-dilly, some to fork
Some to make hay, dilly-dilly, some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly-dilly, keep ourselves warm
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?
'Twas mine own heart, dilly-dilly, that told me so
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 mе so, dilly-dilly, who told me so?
I told myself, dilly-dilly, I told me so
