    Default Looking for artist & chords for this song??

    This is a song my youth pastor used to sing. I am looking for the original artist and the chords. I thought maybe it was a Peter, Paul and Mary song but I don't see it in any of their catalogs. I believe it is called "Nursery Rhymes" and here are the lyrics...

    Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
    A merry old soul was he.
    But even with a pipe and a bowl in his hands,
    I guess he had the problems of an ordinary man.
    Jack be nimble yeah, and Jack be quick,
    But Jack couldn’t get over the candlestick of life.
    To him people only had names.
    I guess that he just couldn’t give up playing games.

    And what is there that gives my life such meaning?
    What is there that makes it all worthwhile?
    It’s found in just one man.
    His name is Jesus Christ my friend.
    Let him in and you will find,
    That life is more than nursery rhymes.

    Little Boy Blue go and blow your horn,
    And thank the Lord for the cows and the corn.
    And Little Miss Muffet would have never run away,
    If she’d asked the Lord for courage that day.
    Humpty Dumpty went and had great fall.
    But no one there could put him back at all…
    But if he’d had a talk with the Lord that day,
    I know it wouldn’t matter anyway, no way.

    And what is there that gives my life such meaning?
    What is there that makes it all worthwhile?
    It’s found in just one man.
    His name is Jesus Christ my friend.
    Let him in and you will find,
    That life is more than nursery rhymes.

    Mary had a little lamb,
    He washed her white as snow…

    I would appreciate any help you can give me. This song is very special to me
