Old King Cole likely a seventeenth century reference
The first reference to Old King Cole, the merry old soul of the famous nursery rhyme, appears in a book by Dr. William King born in 1633. It is probable the song dates to the seventeenth century, with theories linking him to semi mythical British kings Cole or Coel. Scottish tradition mentions Old King Conl of the fifth century, while Freeman cites a sixth century King Cole. Some tie the pipe to tobacco after Raleigh, though the pipe could also indicate a musical instrument.
