Lavender blue, dilly-dilly

Lavender green

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



Whoa-oh, 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 wed in a dilly-dilly dress of



Lavender blue, dilly-dilly

Lavender green

Then I'll be king, dilly-dilly

You'll be my queen



Then I'll be king dilly-dilly

You'll be my queen



(Lavender blue, dilly-dilly)
