[00:00:06] When we left off last night

[00:00:07] The hideous dragon

[00:00:08] Had carried the maid to his cave by moonlight

[00:00:10] He gnashed his teeth and breathed his fire

[00:00:12] The heath quaked and we trembled in fear

[00:00:15] I said someone must save this sweet raven-haired maiden

[00:00:20] Though surely the cost will be steep

[00:00:23] So we lads all drew lots

[00:00:26] Our insides tied in knots

[00:00:28] And I won and the rest went to sleep

[00:00:32] So I picked up my staff

[00:00:34] And I followed the trail Of his smoke

[00:00:37] To the mouth of the cave

[00:00:40] And I bid him come out

[00:00:42] Yea forsooth I did shout

[00:00:44] Ye fool dragon be gone or behave

[00:00:51] And then under my breath

[00:00:53] I uttered a charm said

[00:00:55] To make the worst fiends become kind

[00:00:58] Knaves and knights of dire plights

[00:01:01] Now diminish his sights

[00:01:03] And it worked and the dragon went blind

[00:01:06] And he charged off the cliff

[00:01:08] Howling mad and he died

[00:01:10] And the maiden accepted my ring

[00:01:14] And then you came along

[00:01:16] And were brave bold and strong

[00:01:18] And in thanks every night now I sing

[00:01:22] Race you to the top of the morning

[00:01:26] Come sit on my shoulders and ride

[00:01:30] Run and hide I'll come and find you

[00:01:34] Climb hills to remind you

[00:01:38] I love you my boy at my side

[00:01:44] Now another foul dragon's appeared

[00:01:47] I must leave you

[00:01:49] He's scorching our land with his breath

[00:01:52] From his lair this one taunts me

[00:01:54] He dares me he haunts me

[00:01:56] Once again we must fight to the death

[00:01:59] Would to God I could stay and instead slay your dragon

[00:02:03] This beast who sits hunched on your back

[00:02:07] Would God I could wrench him away from your bed

[00:02:10] Or cut off or tear off his terrible head

[00:02:14] Could breathe out my fire on him

[00:02:16] 'Till he was dead

[00:02:17] Or beg him to spare you and take me instead

[00:02:34] As it is I must leave you in care of my brother

[00:02:40] The wizard who lives on the hill

[00:02:43] Who has promised his art

[00:02:46] Will soon pierce through the heart

[00:02:48] Of this dragon that's keeping you ill

[00:02:52] And I know that your mother God bless her

[00:02:56] Would want you to do as he says and grow strong

[00:03:01] And you know that as soon as I can I'll return

[00:03:05] So be brave son and know that I long

[00:03:09] To race you to the top of the morning

[00:03:14] Come sit on my shoulders and ride

[00:03:18] Run and hide I'll come and find you

[00:03:23] Climb hills to remind you

[00:03:28] I love you

[00:03:32] I love you my boy at my side
