Clover in The Dell (Dilly Dilly)

"Clover in The Dell (Dilly Dilly)"

By: Michael J. Jackson

I wrote some words for a song that I sing to Peter, our Eastern Cottontail bunny. The song's words are the bunny's thoughts toward it's human.
(We're trying to find a MIDI file of the tune, if we do, we'll add it to this webpage.)
(Sung softly to a slightly-modified Traditional English melody from the late 1600's.)

Clover in the dell, dilly dilly,
Clover for my bed;
Your soft caress, dilly dilly,
Kisses on my head;
What makes it so?  Dilly dilly,
What makes it so?
My love for you, dilly dilly,
My love for you.

Flowers in the spring, dilly dilly,
Glistening all with dew;
I bink and dance, dilly dilly,
When I'm with you;
What makes it so?  Dilly dilly,
What makes it so?
My love for you, dilly dilly,
My love for you.

One day I'll go, dilly dilly,
'Cross the Bridge and gone;
And you will weep, dilly dilly,
And walk alone;
What makes it so?  Dilly dilly,
What makes it so?
My love for you, dilly dilly,
My love for you.

When you are grey, dilly dilly,
And reach Life's end;
I will be there, dilly dilly,
Always your friend;
What makes it so?  Dilly dilly,
What makes it so?
My love for you, dilly dilly,
My love for you.

What makes it so?  Dilly dilly,
What makes it so?
My love for you, dilly dilly,
My love for you.
