Lavender blue, dilly dilly,
lavender green
If you were queen, dilly dilly,
you'd meet a king
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
If you'll answer yes
In a pretty little church on a dilly,
dilly day
You'll be wearing a dilly,
dilly dress of lavender blue
Dilly, dilly, lavender green
Then you'll be queen, dilly,
dilly, and I'll be king
Great -grandfather met great -grand
mother when she was a shy youngest
An d great -grandfather won great -grandmother
with words more or less like this
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly,
lavender green
If you were queen, dilly, dilly,
you'd need a king
Who told me so, dilly,
dilly, who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly,
I told me so.
If your dilly, dilly heart is a dilly, dilly way,
If you'll answer yes,
In a pretty little church on a dilly,
dilly day,
You'll be wearing a dilly,
dilly dress of lavender blue
Dilly, dilly, lavender green
Then you'll be queen, dilly, dilly,
and I'll be king
Dearly, dearly,
dearly
Relish in this rare
Queen, dilly, dilly, queen
