<h3>Lavender's Blue</h3><p>This is a long song compared with some of the Early Years songs but it's a pretty song so we recorded most of it (we omitted one verse!). However, the tune is repetitive and doesn't seem to be too difficult for most children of this age. You may like to do just the first two or three verses. </p>                                                                                                                                    <ul class="simple lyrics">            <li>Lavender&#039;s blue, dilly dilly</li>            <li>Lavender&#039;s green</li>            <li>When I am king, dilly dilly</li>            <li>You shall be queen</li>            <li>__</li>            <li>Who told you so, dilly dilly?</li>            <li>Who told you so?</li>            <li>&#039;Twas my own heart, dilly dilly</li>            <li>That told me so</li>            <li>__</li>            <li>Roses are red, dilly dilly</li>            <li>Violets are blue</li>            <li>If you love me, dilly dilly</li>            <li>I will love you</li>            <li>__</li>            <li>Let the birds sing, dilly dilly</li>            <li>And the lambs play</li>            <li>We shall be safe, dilly dilly</li>            <li>Out of harm&#039;s way</li>            <li>__</li>            <li>I love to dance, dilly dilly</li>            <li>I love to sing</li>            <li>When I am queen, dilly dilly</li>            <li>You will be king</li>            <li>__</li>            <li>Who told you so, dilly dilly</li>            <li>Who told you so?</li>            <li>I told myself, dilly dilly</li>            <li>I told me so</li>    </ul>
