Lavender’s Blue

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly, I will be queen

Call up your men, dilly dilly, set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly, some to the cart
Some to make hay, dilly dilly, some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm

Lavender's green, dilly dilly, lavender's blue
You must love me, dilly dilly, cause I love you
I heard one say, dilly dilly, since I came hither
That you and I, dilly dilly, must lie together

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly, I will be queen

My hostess maid, dilly dilly, her name was Nell
She was a lass, dilly dilly, that I loved well
But if she die, dilly dilly, by some mishap
The she shall lie, dilly dilly, under the tap

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly, I will be queen

Let the birds sing, dilly dilly, and the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly dilly, out of harm's way

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly, I will be queen
