[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!
XI.
At the siege of Belle-isle
I was there all the while,
All the while, all the while,
At the siege of Belle-isle.
