lavender s blue

Chelsea Cutler

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 m? so, dilly-dilly, who told me so?
I told myself, dilly-dilly, I told me so
