Here's a rather beautiful rendition of Lavender's Green that I felt you mudcatters needed to hear:

Lavenders green, and lavenders blue
You must love me, as I love you
I heard them say, since I came hither
That you and I must wed together
Since I came hither (2x)
That you and I must wed together
Since I came hither (2x)
That you and I must wed together
Call up your men and set them to work
Some to the plough and some to the fork
Some to make hay, some to the corn
While you and I will keep the bed warm
Some to the corn (2x)
While you and I will keep the bed warm
Some to the corn (2x)
While you and I will keep the bed warm
Down in a dale where flowers grow
And sweet birds sing all in the row
Let the birds sing and let the lambs play
They shall be safe and out of harm's way
Let the lambs play (2x)
They shall be safe and out of harm's way
Let the lambs play (2x)
They shall be safe and out of harm's way
The brisk young man he met with a maid
And sat her down beneath the shade
When they did start to kiss and play
Like laurels in June and lambs in May
Kiss and play (2x)
Like laurels in June and lambs in May
Kiss and play (2x)
Like laurels in June and lambs in May
I will be kind until I die
Then prithee, love, my dog and I
For thee and I made one and one
As one we will live, and never alone
One and one (2x)
As one we will live, and never alone
One and one (2x)
As one we will live, and never alone
