the george and dragon

we met at the inn called the george and dragon

lest you forget my dear

we drank a toast at the george and dragon

with the dragon breathing fire in me beer

yea

verily i did thee beseach thee

to tarry with me ah

but there

you said a knight of the old round table

could be short of nothing but a square. could a square be there to the rescue?

drive yon knave away?

was it fate or love now i ask you

only you can say

sadly i stand with me heart heavy laden

oh what a knight in shining armor

i. to win the hand of this fair young maiden

i would gladly lay me down and die
