Sir Eglamore Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C G F G (4x)
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 armoured in a coat of mail
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, 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 heard that dragon roar
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly
When 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've made a grown man weep
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly
Twas 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 morn' 'til night
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly
INSTRUMENTAL: F G C F G C F C G C F G
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-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
And as a-yawning she did fall
He pushed his sword up hilt and all
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly
And like a coward she did fly
Fa la lanky down dilly
To her den which was hard by
Fa la lanky down dilly
And 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
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba
