Lavenders Blue

Miro Žbirka

LAVENDER'S BLUE DILLY DILLY.
LAVENDER'S GREEN,
WHEN I AM KING DILLY DILLY.
YOU SHALL BE QUEEN;

WHO TOLD YOU SO DILLY DILLY,
WHO TOLD YOU SO?
IT WAS MY OWN HEART DILLY DILLY,
THAT TOLD ME SO;

CALL UP YOUR MAN DILLY DILLY,
SET THEM TO WORK,
SOME TO THE PLOUGH DILLY DILLY,
SOME TO THE FORK;

SOME TO MAKE HAY DILLY DILLY,
SOME TO REAP CORN,
WHILE YOU AND I DILLY DILLY,
KEEP OURSELVES WARM;

ROSES ARE RED DILLY DILLY,
VIOLETS ARE BLUE,
BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME DILLY DILLY,
I WILL LOVE YOU;

LET THE BIRDS SING DILLY DILLY,
AND THE LAMBS PLAY,
WE SHALL BE SAVE DILLY DILLY,
OUT OF HARM'S WAY.
