Ride, boldly ride,"

Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, in

sunshine and in shadow, had

journeyed long, Singing a song,

F7/A

In search of, In search of El

dorado.

He grew old, This knight so bold,

o'er his heart a shadow

Fell as he found, No spot of ground

F7/A

It looked like, it looked like

El dorado.

And, as his strength

Failed him at length,

He met a pilgrim shadow-

"Shadow," said he,

"Where can it be-

This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains

Of the Moon,

Down the Valley of the Shadow,

Ride, boldly ride,"

The shade replied-

"If you seek for Eldorado!

He grew old, This knight so bold,

o'er his heart a shadow

Fell as he found, No spot of ground

It looked like, it looked like

El dorado."
