OLD KING COLE by MOTHER GOOSE

First Line: OLD KING COLE / WAS A MERRY OLD SOUL
Last Line: WITH KING COLE AND HIS FIDDLERS THREE.

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;
Oh, there's none so rare
As can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three.
