Sir Eglamore was a valiant night
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-fada-n-da da-n-falanky 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-fada-n-da da-n-falanky down dilly.


Wellthen 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-fada-n-da da-n-falanky 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-fada-n-da da-n-falanky 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-fada-n-da da-n-falanky 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 uphilt and all
Fa la la-n-fada-n-da da-n-falanky down dilly.


Lake 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-fada-n-da da-n-falanky down dilly.
