CAs he rode o'er Fhill and dale
All Carmoured in a Gcoat of mail
CFa la la-n-ba, Fda-n-da da-n-ba, Glanky down CdillyF  
Out Ccame a dragon from her den
FFa la lanky down Gdilly
That Ckilled god knows how many men
FFa la lanky down Gdilly
CWhen she saw Sir FEglamore
You Cshould have heard that Gdragon roar
CFa la la-n-ba, Fda-n-da da-n-ba, Glanky down CdillyF  G  
CWhen the trees began to shake
FFa la lanky down Gdilly
CHorse did tremble and man did quake
