La-ven-der’s blue, did-dle, did-dle! La-ven-der’s green; When I am king, did-dle, did-dle! You shall be queen.
Call up your men, did-dle, did-dle! Set them to work; Some to the plough, did-dle, did-dle! Some to the cart.
Some to make hay, did-dle, did-dle! Some to cut corn; While you and I, did-dle, did-dle! Keep ourselves warm.
