Happy Birthday!
John, King of England
(1199-1216)
b12/24/1167 (d10/18/1216)
King John was not a good man -
He had his little ways.
And sometimes no one spoke to him
For days and days and days.
ALSO
I'll tell you a story, a story anon,
Of a noble prince, and his name was King John;
For he was a prince, and a prince of great might,
He held up great wrongs, he put down great right.
Derry down, down hey, derry down.
"King John And The Abbot Of Canterbury," Child #45 (B) - Child feels the
root song's story, however is much older - at least back to 6th century
