A traditional song from 17th century England. There are a few versions around but I think
this one has most,if not all,of the original verses and a simple chord progression which
seems quite effective. No verses/chorus as such it's just a sing right through song.
[Verse]
D G
Lavender's blue dilly dilly lavender's green
D A D
When I am king dilly dilly you shall be queen
D G
Lavender's green dilly dilly lavender's blue
D A D
You must love me dilly dilly 'cos I love you
D G
Down in the vale dilly dilly where flowers grow
D A D
And the birds sing dilly dilly all in a row
D G
A brisk young man dilly dilly met with a maid
D A D
And laid her down dilly dilly under the shade
D G
There they did play dilly dilly and kiss and court
D A D
All the fine day dilly dilly making good sport
D G
I've heard them say dilly dilly since I came hither
D A D
That you and I dilly dilly might lie together
D G
Therefore be kind dilly dilly while here we lie
D A D
And you will love dilly dilly my dog and I
D G
For you and I dilly dilly now all are one
D A D
And we will lie dilly dilly no more alone
D G
Lavender's blue dilly dilly lavender's green
D A D
Let me be king dilly dilly you be the queen
D G
Lavender's green dilly dilly lavender's blue
D A D
You must love me dilly dilly 'cos I love you
