[Verse 1]
G D G A7
In the days of old, in a kingdom bold, there lived a fearsome dragon
G D A7
And the king he was in great distress, and the countries spirites flagoned
G D G A7
Until one day there came a knight, he was handsome, bold, and charming
G D A7
And he slew the dragon with his sword and a smile that is so disarming
G D G A7 D A7 D
With a hey and a ho, and a hey nanny no, a smile that is so disarming
[Verse 2]
G D G A7
Said the king, "I wish to know your name." But the knight said, "Do not bother."
G D A7
"For the name of a knight in the realm," said he, "is the same as any other."
G D G A7
Said the king, "Tonight in my daughters bed you shall take your leisure,
G D A7
And she will reward you for your deed with a night of exhausting pleasure."
G D G A7 D A7 D
With a hey and a ho, and a hey nanny no, a night of exhausting pleasure
[Verse 3]
G D G A7
One daughter she had raven hair, a maiden young and chaste
G D A7
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to the waist
G D G A7
The other daughter she was fair, the fairest in the town
G D A7
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight naked from her small waist down
G D G A7 D A7 D
With a hey and a ho, and a hey nanny no, naked from her small waist down
[Verse 4]
G D G A7
Well the knight did spend many an hour behind the castle walls
G D A7
But the ending to my story here isn't what it seems at all
G D G A7
For in neither bed, of either daughter, was he repaid for his glory
G D A7 D
But he spend all night with the king instead for this is a fairy story
G D G A7 D A7 D
With a hey and a ho, and a hey nanny no, for this is a fairy story
