Sir Eglamore |
Sir Eglamore was a valiant knight, |
fa la lanky down dilly, |
He took up his sword and he went to fight, |
fa la lanky down dilly. |
As he rode o’er hill and dale, |
All armored in a coat of mail, |
Fa la la-n-fa, da-n-da da-n-fa, lanky down dilly. |
Out came a dragon from her den, |
fa la lanky down dilly, |
That killed God knows how many men, |
fa la lanky down dilly. |
When she saw Sir Eglamore, |
You should have hear that dragon roar |
Fa la la-n-fa, da-n-da da-n-fa, lanky down dilly. |
Well, then the trees began to shake, |
fa la lanky down dilly, |
Horse did tremble and man did quake, |
fa la lanky down dilly. |
The birds betook them all to peep, |
it would have made a grown man weep, |
Fa la la-n-fa, da-n-da da-n-fa, lanky down dilly. |
But all in vain it was to fear, |
fa la lanky down dilly, |
For now they fall to fight like bears, |
fa la lanky down dilly. |
To it they go and soundly fight, |
the live-long day from more 'till night, |
Fa la la-n-fa, da-n-da da-n-fa, lanky down dilly. |
This dragon had a plaguey hide, |
fa la lanky down dilly, |
That could the sharpest steel abide, |
fa la lanky down dilly. |
No sword could enter through her skin, |
Which vexed the knight and made her grin, |
Fa la la-n-fa, da-n-da da-n-fa, lanky down dilly. |
But as in choler she did burn, |
fa la lanky down dilly, |
He fetched the dragon a great good turn, |
fa la lanky down dilly, |
As a yawning she did fall, |
he thrust his sword up, hilt and all, |
Fa la la-n-fa, da-n-da da-n-fa, lanky down dilly. |
Like a coward she did fly, |
fa la lanky down dilly. |
To her den which was hard by, |
fa la lanky down dilly, |
There she lay all night and roared, |
the knight was sorry for his sword, |
Fa la la-n-fa, da-n-da da-n-fa, lanky down dilly |
