OLD KING COUL.
Old King Coul was a jolly old soul,
And a jolly old soul was he ;
And old King Coul he had a brown bowl,
And they brought him in fiddlers three ;
And every fiddler Avas a very good fiddler,
And a very good fiddler was he
Fiddle-diddle, fiddle-diddle, went the fiddlers three
And there's no a lass in a' Scotland,
Compared to our sweet Marjorie.
Old King Coul was a jolly old soul,
And a jolly old soul was he ;
Old King Coul, he had a brown bowl,
And they brought him in pipers three :
Ha-diddle, how-diddle, ha-diddle, how-diddle, went the
pipers three ;
Fiidle-diddle, fiddle-diddle, went the fiddlers three :
And there's no a lass in a' the land,
Compared to our sweet Maijorie.
Old King Coul was a jolly old soul,
And a jolly old soul was he ;
Old King Coul, he had a brown bowl.
And they brought him in harpers three
Twingle-twangle, twingle-twangle, went the harpers ;
Ha-diddle, how-diddle, ha-diddle, how-diddle, went the
pipers ;
Fiddle-diddle, fiddle-diddle, went the fiddlers three :
And there's no a lass in a' the land.
Compared to our sweet Maijorie.
Old King Coul was a jolly old soul.
And a jolly old soul was he ;
Old King Coul, he had a brown bowl,
And they brought him in trumpeters tliree
