John Dory (song)
text:
John Dory is an English-language folk song. The fish John Dory may be named for the titular character.
The song is sometimes sung as a three-part round. The first printing of the tune and text is 1609 in Thomas Ravenscroft's Deuteromelia songbook but there are earlier mentions of the song in books. It was quite popular, and both parodies and satires were written to the same melody.
