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)
