Old King Cole

Old King Cole 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. OLD KING COLE was not always a king, nor was he born a member of any royal family. It was only chance--"hard luck" he used to call it--that made him a king at all. He had always been a poor man, being the son of an apple peddler, who died and left him nothing but a donkey and a fiddle. But that was enough for Cole,
