Lyrics Lavender's Blue - Nursery Rhymes

Lavender's blue Dilly Dilly,
Lavender's green;
When l 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.

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.
