Lavender's Blue Songtext
von Reinhard Mey

Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
When you′re king, dilly, dilly
I shall be queen

Who told me so, dilly, dilly
Who told me so
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly
That told me so

Call up your friends, dilly dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly
Some to the fork


Some to the hay, dilly dilly
Some to cut corn
Whilst 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

Lavender′s blue, dilly dilly
Lavender′s green
When I am queen, dilly dilly
You'll be my king


Who told you so, dilly dilly?
Who told you so?
′Twas my own heart, dilly dilly
I told me so
