The king of France, the king of France, with forty thousand men
Another version. The nurse sings the first line, and repeats it, time after time, until the expectant little one asks, what next? Then comes the climax.
“The king of France, the king of France,
with forty thousand men,
Oh, they all went up the hill, and so--came
back again!”
