Lavender's Blue, Dilly, Dilly, Lavender's Green


“Lavender’s blue, dilly, dilly, lavender’s green,
When I am King, dilly, dilly, you shall be Queen.”
“Who told yo so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?”
“‘Twas mine own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so”

“Call up your men, dilly, dully, set them to work,
Some with a rake, dilly, dilly, some with a fork,
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to thresh corn,
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.”

“If it should hap, dilly, dilly, if it should change,
We shall be gay, dilly, dilly, we shall both dance.
Lavender’s blue, dilly, dilly, lavender’s green,
You shall be King, dilly, dilly, when I am Queen.”
