Lavender : Six Days to Go

We brought a small bush over from Mum and Dad's garden last weekend, and it seems to be settling in to its new home.  

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.

Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly, some to the fork.

Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.

Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, Lavender's blue
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.

Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, And the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way.

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.

(17th Century English Folk Song and Nursery Rhyme)
