about

traditional - an old english song from elizabeth's mom and grandmother.

lyrics

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?
’twas my own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so.

call up your men, dilly dilly, put them to work
some with a rake, dilly dilly, some with a fork
some to make hay, dilly dilly, some to plant corn
while you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm.

lavender’s blue, dilly dilly, lavender’s green
when I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen
lavender’s green, dilly dilly, lavender’s blue
you must love me, dilly dilly, ‘cause I love you.
