I remember singing it "Hi, ho, the dairy-o..." but I'd accept just about
anything at this point. After all, I don't think I have sung it since
kindergarten.

Well, we spoke much like this:
But for to tellen yow of his array,
His hors were goode, but he was nat gay.
Of fustian he wered a gypon
Al bismotered with his habergeon,
For he was late ycome from his viage,
And wente for to doon his pilgrymage.
But yes, English existed.
