Lavender blue (dilly dilly) Lyrics & Mp3
Thursday, July 31st, 2008The 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?
