When she was a shy young miss
And great-grandfather won great-grandmother
With words, more less, like this...

Lavender blue dilly dilly
Lavender green
If I were king dilly dilly,
I'd need a queen
Who told you so dilly dilly
Who told you so?
I told myself dilly dilly
I told me so
If your dilly dilly heart
Feels a dilly dilly way
And if you'll answer "yes,"
In a pretty little church,
On a dilly dilly day,
You'll be wed in the dilly dilly dress of
Lavender blue dilly dilly
Lavender green
Then I'll be king dilly dilly
And you'll be my queen

If your dilly dilly heart
Feels a dilly dilly way
And if you'll answer "yes,"
In a pretty little church,
On a dilly dilly day,
You'll be wed in the dilly dilly dress of
Lavender blue dilly dilly
Lavender green
Then I'll be king dilly dilly
And you'll be my queen
