Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly)
[Verse 1]
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
If I were king, dilly, dilly
I'd need a queen
[Pre-Chorus]
Who told me so? Dilly, dilly
Who told me so?

I told me so

If your dilly, dilly heart
Feels a dilly, dilly way
And if you'll answer, "Yes"

On a dilly, dilly day

[Verse 2]
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
Then I'll be king, dilly, dilly
And you'll be my queen
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green

You'd need a queen
[Pre-Chorus]
Who told me so? Dilly, dilly
Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly
I told me so
[Chorus]
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
I'll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress of
[Outro]
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
Then you'll be king, dilly, dilly
And I'll be your queen
