This Old Man is an English counting song that runs from 'he played one' up to 'he played ten', each verse ending with the 'knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone' refrain. The beginner arrangement in C major starts the right hand on G and lets it step down to C, while the left hand plays one bass note per harmony.
