trumpet player in the prince's army and he marched from Den Helder to Den Driel.

Den Helder and Den Driel are two towns in the Netherlands.
This is a fragment from a song by Rob de Nijs: Jan Klaassen de Trompetter. It's about a trumpet player or horn blower in the old days. He's in the army and falls in love with a woman. Unfortunately he never returns from the battlefield. Source(s): I am Dutch
