Lavender Lullaby Lyrics
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
