Lavendula augustifolia

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 my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so 

I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, You'll be my king 

  Who told me so dilly, dilly, Who told me so?

 

 I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so
