Old King Cole Was a merry old soul, and a
A         E
Merry old soul was he; he
A              D
Called for his wine, and he called for his pipe, and he
A       E    A
Called for his fiddlers three.

E
When they’d had a high old time
A    B      E
All the whole night through

What was it that King Cole said
A    B    E
And his fidders, too?
