A short, repetitive chant built around the name of a real historical siege, prized more for its marching rhythm than for any history it teaches.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
At the siege of Belleisle
I was there all the while,
All the while, all the while,
At the siege of Belleisle.
