Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender's green
When I am king, dilly, dilly
You shall be queen.
Call up your men, dilly, dilly,
Set them to work,
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly,
Some to the cart.
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly
Some to thresh 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
You shall be queen
You shall be queen
