Nursery Rhyme. I. Historical - Old King Cole

Topics: classic

Old King Cole         Was a merry old soul,         And a merry old soul was he;         He called for his pipe,         And he called for his bowl,         And he called for his fiddlers three.         Every fiddler, he had a fiddle,         And a very fine fiddle had he;         Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.         Oh, there's none so rare,         As can compare         With King Cole and his fiddlers three!
