Burl Ives - Lavender's blue (dilly dilly)



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 friends, dilly, dilly

Set them to work

Some to the plough, dilly dilly,

Some to the fork



Some to the hay, dilly dilly,

Some to thresh corn

Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,

Keep ourselves warm



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.
