Down in the vale, diddle diddle Where flowers grow, And the birds sing, diddle diddle All in a row. A brisk young man, diddle diddle Met with a maid, And laid her down, diddle diddle Under the shade. There they did play, diddle diddle And kiss and court. All the fine day, diddle diddle Making good sport. I've heard them say, diddle diddle Since I came hither That you and I, diddle diddle Might lie together. Therefore be kind, diddle diddle While here we lie, And you will love, diddle diddle My dog and I. For you and I, diddle diddle Now all are one, And we will lie, diddle diddle No more alone. Lavender's blue, diddle diddle Lavender's green, Let me be king, diddle diddle You be the queen. Lavender's green, diddle diddle Lavender's blue, You must love me, diddle diddle 'Cause I love you. *For a little history behind this song, check out: http://www.contemplator.com/england/lblue.html |
