Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly)

Lavender blue, dilly dilly, lavender green

If I were king, dilly dilly, I'd need a queen

Who told me so? Dilly dilly, who told me so?

I told myself, dilly dilly, I told me so

If your dilly dilly heart feels a dilly dilly way

And if you answer yes

In a pretty little church on a dilly dilly day

You'll be wed in a dilly dilly dress of

Lavender blue, dilly dilly, lavender green

Then I'll be king, dilly dilly, and you'll be my queen

Great grandfather met great grandmother

When she was a shy young miss

And great grandfather won great grandmother

With words more or less, like this

(Lavender blue, dilly dilly, lavender green)

(If you were king, dilly, dilly, you'd need a queen)

(Who told you so? Dilly dilly, who told you so?)

I told myself, dilly dilly, I told me so

If your dilly dilly heart feels a dilly dilly way

And if you answer yes

In a pretty little church on a dilly dilly day

You'll be wed in a dilly dilly dress of

Lavender blue, dilly dilly, lavender green

Then I'll be king, dilly dilly, and you'll be my queen
