Lyrics
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly Lavender green If I were king, dilly, dilly I'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'll 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 If you were king, dilly, dilly You'd need a queen

Who told you so? Dilly, dilly Who told you so? You told yourself, dilly, dilly you told you so

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

Lavender blue, dilly, dilly Lavender green Then you'll be king, dilly, dilly And I'll be your queen
