Lyrics
(Folk song)
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and his called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Every fiddler had a fiddle
And a very fine fiddle had he;
Tweedle dee, tweedle dee went the fiddler threes
And so merry we will be.

Thanks, I found it when I added fiddling sticks to the search. You are so unbelievably talented, thank you so much for sharing. I use something from your site almost every day. Although I’m very computer challenged even I can project things from your site. Here’s what you had previously put for lesson idea 1. http://deannastark.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/8/3/23834065/old_king_cole.pdf
Awesome! Thanks!
