The Grand Old Duke of York
The Grand Old Duke of York is an English children's nursery rhyme often performed as an action song. Like many popular nursery rhymes the origins of the song have been much debated and remain unclear. Unusually the rhyme clearly refers to a historical person and debates have tended to circulate around identifying which Duke is being referred to in the lyrics. The lyrics were not printed in their modern form until relatively recently in Arthur Rackham's Mother Goose in 1913. Prior to that a number of alternatives have been found including a note that in Warwickshire in 1892 the song was sung of both the Duke of York and the King of France; from 1894 that it was sung of Napoleon. The oldest version of the song that survives is from 1642 under the title 'Old Tarlton's song' attributed to the stage clown Richard Tarlton (1530–1588). As a result the argument has been made that it may have been a common satirical verse that was adapted as appropriate and because it was recorded in roughly the modern form has become fixed on the Duke of York. Candidates for the duke in question include: Richard, Duke of York (1411–1460), James II (1633–1701), formerly Duke of York or Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany (1763–1827).

And he marched them down again
He had ten thousand men
They were neither up nor down
Oh, the grand old Duke of York
And when they were only halfway up
He had ten thousand men
