Lavender blue (dilly dilly) Lyrics & Mp3

lullabybabies — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:20:56 +0000

The lovely little lullaby Lavender’s Blue (also known as Lavender Blue Dilly Dilly) is great for playing to newborns at bedtime. You can listen to a sample clip and, if you like our version, you can download the full track as an mp3.

This English folk song goes as far back as the 17th Century. Over the years there have been many covers, some good and some ..well, shall we say, not so good!? Burl Ives, Dinah Shore and Sammy Turner have all recorded their own versions. It had a very popular spell during the 1950s Rock & Roll era when a Philadelphia-born singer/songwriter released his version. He was known as the King of Rock N Soul and also as Big Sol- can anyone name him?

Lyrics

Lavender’s blue dilly dilly lavender’s green,
When I am King dilly dilly you shall be Queen,
Call up your friends dilly dilly set them to work,
Some to the plough dilly dilly some to the fork

Some to the hay dilly dilly some to thresh corn,
Whilst you and I dilly dilly keep ourselves warm,
Lavender’s blue dilly dilly lavender’s green,
When I am King dilly dilly you shall be Queen

The traditional song Scarborough Fair is from our new album: Acoustic Lullabies to Soothe the Soul. We recorded a special arrangement of this traditional classic and you can read the lyrics, listen to an audio clip and download the full track as you wish.

Lyrics

Are you going to Scarborough fair? | Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me the one who lives there | For once she was a true love of mine

Have her make me a cambric shirt | Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor fine needlework | And then she’ll be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land | Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea foam and over the sand | And then she’ll be a true love of mine

Rock a bye baby lullaby

lullabybabies — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:36:04 +0000

‘Rock a bye baby’ is from our new album: Acoustic Lullabies to Soothe the Soul. The song is estimated to have been written in the 1600s although there is no concrete evidence to support this. Some believe it was a pilgrim travelling to America on the Mayflower who wrote the song after observing the native women rocking their babies to sleep in birch bark cradles. These cradles were hung from trees to allow the wind to rock the babies to sleep. Because the branches of the trees had to support the full weight, they occasionally broke and this obviously meant that, ‘..down would come baby, cradle and all.’ However, like so many of these ancient nursey rhymes, their origins cannot be confirmed and the legends could easily be fictitious.

Lyrics

Please note, we changed the words in last line of each verse as we believe it makes a much nicer sentiment.

Rock-a-bye baby in the treetops
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
But we’ll be there to catch baby and all.

Hush Little Baby (also known as Mockingbird) is from our new album: Acoustic Lullabies to Soothe the Soul. Like with all the featured lullabies – the lyrics & audio clips are available.

Lyrics

Hush little baby don’t say a word, Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird,
And if that mockingbird won’t sing, Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring,
And if that diamond ring turns brass, Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass,
And if that looking glass gets broke, Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat,
And if that billy goat won’t pull, Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull,
And if that cart and bull turn over, Papa’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover,
And if that dog named Rover won’t bark, Papa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart,
And if that horse and cart fall down, You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

lullabybabies — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 07:31:48 +0000

Twinkle Little Star is from our new album: Acoustic Lullabies to Soothe the Soul (coming soon). You may browse the lyrics and listen to a short audio clip from this song .

Lyrics

Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky,
Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are.

When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light, Twinkle twinkle through the night,
Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are.

Then the traveller in the dark, Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He couldn’t see which way to go, If you didn’t twinkle so,
Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are.
