First Line: LAVENDER'S BLUE, DILLY, DILLY, LAVENDER'S GREEN
Last Line: WHILST YOU AND I, DILLY DILLY, KEEP OURSELVES WARM.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; LAVENDER; VALENTINE'S DAY;
LAVENDER'S blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so?
'Twas mine own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so.
Call up your men, dilly dilly, set them to work,
Some with a rake, dilly dilly, some with a fork,
Some to make hay, dilly dilly, some to thresh corn,
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm.
