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?
It was my heart, dilly, dilly
That told me so

Call up your men, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly
Some to the fork

Some to make hay, dilly, dilly
Some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly, dilly
Sit cozy and warm

Lavender's green, dilly, dilly
Lavender's blue
All the colors, dilly, dilly
That you love too

Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly
And the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly
Out of harm's way
I love to dance, dilly, dilly
I love to sing
And music is, dilly, dilly
A lovely thing

How do you know, dilly, dilly
How do you know?
I heard it play, dilly, dilly
That's how I know
