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 my own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so. 2. Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work Some to the plow, 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. 3. 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 play; We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm’s.
