    Den Coninck van Hispaengien
    Heb ick altijt gheeert.
    Remember the world cup! hahahahaha!

    Holland was inherited by the King of Spain....but...
    just like all families, the kids (Dutch) figured dad (the king) didn't know anything...so, that led eventually to a bloody end to Spanish rule...

    Sort of like we Americans, after the English took to much of a firm hand....ROFL!

    Hugs, Kathi

    Not all 7 verses....2 are the usual.....
    BUT, I have a hand-crank belly organ with that song as one of the pieces. So, whenever I feel patriotic, (or there is a dutch person over), I play the organ....It's cool to see the response....they sing along....(and they say we AMERICANS are so darn patriotic!!!).

    Hugs, Kathi
