    C
Sir Eglamore was a valiant knight
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
   C
He took up his sword and he went to fight
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
C               F
As he rode o'er hill and dale
    C             G
All armoured in a coat of mail
C              F                G          C        F
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly


    C
Out came a dragon from her den
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
     C
That killed god knows how many men
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
C                F
When she saw Sir Eglamore
    C                      G
You should have heard that dragon roar
C              F                G          C      F  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly


C
When the trees began to shake
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
C
Horse did tremble and man did quake
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
    C                 F
The birds betook them all to peep
   C               G
It would've made a grown man weep
C              F                G          C      F  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly


C
Twas all in vain it was to fear
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
C
For now they fall to fight like bears
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
C                 F
To it they go and soundly fight
    C                  G
The live-long day from morn' 'til night
C              F                G          C      
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  


     C
This dragon had a plaguey hide
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
     C
That could the sharpest steel abide
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
   C                 F
No sword could enter through her skin
      C                    G
Which vexed the knight and made her grin
C              F                G          C      F  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly


     C
But as in choler she did burn
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
   C
He fetched the dragon a great good turn
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
    C            F
And as a-yawning she did fall
   C                   G
He pushed his sword up hilt and all
C              F                G          C      F  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly


    C
And like a coward she did fly
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
C
To her den which was hard by
F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly
    C                 F
And there she lay all night and roared
    C                G
The knight was sorry for his sword
C              F                C  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba
C              F                C  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba
C              F                C  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba
C              F                C  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba
