Lavender Blue Lyrics & Chords By Barbara Cook

Cook Barbara
The Disney Album
Lavender Blue
Great-grandmother met great-grandfather
When she was a shy young miss
And great-grandmother won great-grandfather
With words, more or less, like this...
Lavender blue dilly dilly
Lavender green
If you were king dilly dilly,
You'd need a queen
Who told me so dilly dilly
Who told me so?
I told myself dilly dilly
I told me so
If your dilly dilly heart
Feels a dilly dilly way
And if you'll answer "yes,"
In a pretty little church,
On a dilly dilly day,
I'll be wed in a dilly dilly dress of
Lavender blue dilly dilly
Lavender green
Then you'll be king dilly dilly
And I'll be your queen
If your dilly dilly heart
Feels a dilly dilly way
And if you'll answer "yes,"
In a pretty little church,
On a dilly dilly day,
I'll be wed in a dilly dilly dress of
Lavender blue dilly dilly
Lavender green
Then you'll be king dilly dilly
And I'll be your queen
