Sir Eglamore lyrics

Sir Eglamore was a valiant knight

A valiant knight and true

He took up his sword and he went to fight

As now I'll tell to you

He wandered over hill and dale

With sword and lance and coat of mail

Here's a health to bold Sir Eglamore

A valiant knight was he

There came a dragon out of her den

A dragon both fierce and fell

She'd slain God knows how many men

With a flame as hot as hell

And when she saw Sir Eglamore

She let out such a fearsome roar

Here's a health to bold Sir Eglamore

A valiant knight was he

This dragon had on a plaguey hide

With scales all over her skin

She could the sharpest spear abide

No sword could enter in

And though Sir Eglamore fought well

He could not make his blows to tell

Here's a health to bold Sir Eglamore

A valiant knight was he

And then just as it seemed the knight

From life must soon depart

The dragon rose and he caught sight

Of a gap above her heart

And as a-roaring she did fall

He thrust his sword in hilt and all

Here's a health to bold Sir Eglamore

A valiant knight was he

The dragon lay down on her side

And let out one last roar

And in the place whereat she died

She'll lie for evermore

And all the townfolk who were freed

Sang of Sir Eglamore's wondrous deed

Here's a health to bold Sir Eglamore

A valiant knight was he

Here's a health to bold Sir Eglamore

A valiant knight was he
