Lavender's Blue (Dilly Dilly) Songtext

von Tim Hart

Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly lavender's green
When you are king, dilly, dilly I shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly, dilly who told you so?
'Twas my own 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 keep ourselves warm.
Lavender's green, dilly, dilly Lavender's blue
If you love me, dilly, dilly I will love you
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
When I am queen, dilly, dilly You'll be my king.
Who told me so, dilly, dilly Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly I told me so
