Long ago, in days of old, there lived a knight who

a damsel in distress...just to see if he, could set her free.

See the knight in rusty armour ride..to her aid.

Trusty sword is hanging at his side..with a rusty blade.

#2.

Am E7 Am

Up the tower steps he sneaked, but as he moved,

F C E7

his rusty armour squeaked..such a mournful note..

Am E7 Am

that all the sentries at their posts, thought it must

F C

have been the castle ghost.

They jumped for their lives..in the moat.

CHORUS:#2.

So the knight in rusty armour won..his fair maid.

they came in tins.
