lyrics

Lavender's blue,
Lavender's green,
When I am king,
You shall be queen
Who told you so?
Who told you so?
'T’was my own heart
That told me so.

Call up your men…
Set them to work
Some to the plough,
Some to the cart ,
Some to make hay,
Some to cut corn,
Whilst you and I,
keep ourselves warm.



Lavender's green,
Lavender's blue,
If you love me,
I will love you.
Oh let the birds sing,
And the lambs play,
We shall be safe, out of harm's way.
Oh I love to dance and I love to sing;
When I am queen, you'll be my king.
Who told me so? Who told me so?
I told myself, I told me so.


Ride an old horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse,
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.[2]


Lavender's blue,
Lavender's green,
When I am king,
You shall be queen
Who told you so?
Who told you so?
'T’was my own heart
That told me so.
