Lavender's Blue is a love song from the Renaissance period that has been covered by such varied artists as Dinah Shore, Burl Ives, and Leon Russel. Originally, like the Star-Spangled Banner, it was a song that celebrated carousing and drinking, but has evolved so much over the centuries that it is now known as a nursery song for children. This tune also appeared in dramatic works such as Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Britten's opera, The Turn of the Screw as well as in the Disney movies Cinderella and So Dear To My Heart. The version here (with fingering and phrase markings) is for the early intermediate student.
