High Diddle Ding
The Nursery Rhymes of England. James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps. 1886.
High diddle ding,
Did you hear the bells ring?
The Parliament soldiers are gone to the King!
Some they did laugh, some they did cry,
To see the Parliament soldiers pass by.
High ding a ding, and ho ding a ding,
The parliament soldiers are gone to the king;
Some with new beavers, some with new bands,
The parliament soldiers are all to be hang'd.
Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes. Walter Crane. 1877.
High diddle ding,
Did you hear the bells ring?
The Parliament soldiers are gone to the King!
Some they did laugh, some they did cry,
To see the Parliament soldiers pass by.
The Only True Mother Goose Melodies. Munroe & Francis. 1833.
Hey ding a ding, ding, I heard a bird sing,
The parliament soldiers are gone to the king.
