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. 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
