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 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,
then I'll be king, dilly -dilly,
And you'll be my queen.
