Great grandfather met great grandmother
When she was a shy young girl
And great grandfather won great grandmother
With words more or less like this:
Lavender blue, dilly dilly
Lavender green
If I were king, dilly dilly
I'd need a queen
I told you so
Who told me so dilly dilly
Who told me so?
I told myself dilly dilly
I told you so
If your dilly dilly heart
Feels a dilly dilly way
'N 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
And you'll be my queen
