My Old Dutch (song)

"My Old Dutch" is an 1892 music hall[1] and vaudeville[2] song performed by Albert Chevalier.

The lyrics were written by Chevalier, with music composed by his brother Auguste under the name Charles Ingle.

Laura Ormiston Chant commented that the song outlined "the finest sentiments of the human heart [...] in a language understood by the people".

[3] A third film based on the song was released in 1934, which was written by Arthur Shirley and directed by Sinclair Hill.

[11] In a segment of Beatles Anthology concerning the Beatles receiving the Order of the British Empire, Ringo Starr claims that during their audience with Queen Elizabeth she asked how long the group had been together, he and Paul McCartney spontaneously sang We've been together now for forty years in jest, to the Queen's bemusement.
