(Lavender Blue). Dansk tekst: Aase Gjødsbøl Krogh Musik: Eliot Daniel
I min bedstemors store bibel
der fandt jeg et blomsterblad,
et gulnet minde om gamle dage,
da bedstefar sang så glad:
BLÅ KLOKKEBLOMST, klinge-linge
lad klokken slå, nu er det tid,
elskede, vort bryllup skal stå.
BLÅ KLOKKEBLOMST
klinge-linge
du nikker ja,
yndig og fin
klinge-linge
nu bli'r hun (han) min,
Se, et lille, bitte hus
ved en lille, bitte vej
det venter kun på dig (mig).
Og den lille, bitte hånd
får en lille, bitte ring,
kirkeklokken si'r klinge-linge-ling.
Min BLÅ KLOKKEBLOMST,
klinge-linge
ring solen ned,
nu er det tid
klinge-linge-ling for kærlighed.

Lavender blue
Musik og engelsk tekst: Eliot Daniel - Larrey Morey.
Great grandfather met great grandmother
when she was a shy young miss.
And great grandfather won great grandmother
with words more or less like this :
LAVENDER BLUE
dilly - dilly
lavender green,
if I were king
dilly - dilly
I'd need a queen,
Who told me so,
dilly - dilly
who told me so?
I told myself,
dilly - dilly,
I told me so,
If your dilly, dilly heart
feels a dilly, dilly way
and if you'll answer, »yes«,
in a pretty little church
on a dilly dilly day
you'll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress
of LAVENDER BLUE
dilly - dilly
lavender green,
then I'll be king
dilly - dilly,
and you'll be my queen.
