The Grand Old Duke Of York
Oh the grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only halfway up,
They were neither up nor down
The King Of France
The King of France, with twenty thousand men,
Went up the hill, and then came down again ;
The King of Spain, with twenty thousand more,
Climb'd the same hill the french had climb'd before.
The King of France, with twenty thousand men,
Gave a salute, and then rode down again ;
The Knave of France came riding into town,
Looked to the south then turned his horse around;
Oh the grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only halfway up,
They were neither up nor down
The King Of France
The King of France, with twenty thousand men,
Went up the hill, and then came down again ;
The King of Spain, with twenty thousand more,
Climb'd the same hill the french had climb'd before.
The King of France, with twenty thousand men,
Gave a salute, and then rode down again ;
The Knave of France came riding into town,
Looked to the south then turned his horse around;
