Lavenders Blue

Rosie Hetherington

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly
Lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly

I shall be queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly
That told me so

Call up your men, dilly, dilly
Send them to work
Some to the plough, 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 day
We shall be safe, dilly dilly
Out of arms way

I love to dance, dilly, dilly
I love to sing
When I am queen, dilly, dilly
You'll be my king
You told me so, dilly, dilly
you told me so
I told my self, dilly, dilly
I told me so
