Great Grandfather met Great Grandmother when she was a shy young miss
and Great Grandfather won Great Grandmother with words more or less like this
Lavender blue, dilly dilly
Lavender green
If I were king, dilly dilly,
I'd need a queen
Who told you so? dilly dilly
Who told you 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
you'll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress of
Lavender blue, dilly dilly
Lavender green
Then I'll be king, dilly dilly
and you'll be my queen.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteForgive me if this is stalkerish. Listening to this song took me whooshing back to my childhood, when we wore out the vinyl on this and other Burl Ives songs. In my minds eye, I can even see the ugly blue couch I sat on while I listened. Thanks for the memories.
