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-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.
Out came a dragon from his 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 heard that dragon roar,
fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.
Well then the trees began to shake,
fa la lanky down dilly,
Horse did tremble and man did shake,
fa la lanky down dilly,
The birds betook them all to peep,
it would have made a grown man weep,
fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, 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,
fa la lanky down dilly,
the live-long day from morn to night,
fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.
The 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-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, 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-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, 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-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.
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-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.
Out came a dragon from his 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 heard that dragon roar,
fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.
Well then the trees began to shake,
fa la lanky down dilly,

fa la lanky down dilly,

fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.

fa la lanky down dilly,

fa la lanky down dilly,

fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.

the knight was sorry for his sword,
fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly.
