I like them all because I remember them all!

That's quite an accomplishment Laurie, since one of the songs (Lavender Blue) is form the 17th century

There have been other derivations of the same song and words. Sometime in the 1950-60 era, there was a diddy called Lavender Blue, Dilly, Dilly, Lavender Green. If I were king, dilly dilly, you'd be my queen.

Found all the lyrics to the one I used to sing:

Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly, lavender's green
When I am king, dilly, dilly, You shall be queen
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so
Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly, some to the fork
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm
Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, Lavender's blue
if you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, And the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way
I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, You'll be my king
Who told me so, dilly, dilly, Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so

Now, if I could just transmit the tune through the cables, I'd have you humming for the next three days!
