w: La-ven-der's blue, dil-ly, dil-ly, la-ven-der's green, When I'm a king,
w: Call up your men,  dil-ly, dil-ly, set them to work,   Some with a rake,
w: If it should hap,  dil-ly, dil-ly, hope it may chance, We shall be gay,

w: dil-ly, dil-ly, you shall be queen,  Who told you so,   dil-ly, dil-ly,
w: dil-ly, dil-ly, some with a fork,    Some to make hay,  dil-ly, dil-ly,
w: dil-ly, dil-ly, we shall both dance, La-ven-der's blue, dil-ly, dil-ly,

w: who told you so?    'Twas mine own heart, dil-ly, dil-ly, that told me so.
w: some to thresh corn, Whilst you and I,    dil-ly, dil-ly, keep our selves warm.
w: la-ven-der's green,  When I'm a king,     dil-ly, dil-ly, you shall be queen.
