Knight In Rusty Armour Lyrics

Knight In Rusty Armour lyrics

Long ago in days of old 

  There lived a knight who 

  Wasn't quite as bold 

  As a knight should be 

  

  He rode an old grey mare called Bess 

  Searchin' for 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 

  

  Up the tower steps he sneaked 

  But as he moved 

  His rusty armour squeaked 

  Such a mournful note 

  

  And all the sentries at their posts 

  Thought it must have been the castle ghost 

  They jumped for their lives 

  In the moat 

  

  So the knight in rusty armour won 

  His fair maid 

  Had no need to draw his trusty sword 

  With a rusty blade 

  

  As he bent to kiss his bride 

  He found that he was 

  Rusted up inside 

  In his battle dress 

  And I can't guess 

  

  How they still got married 

  And had twins 

  They came in tins 

  Every suit of armour ever made 

  Has a kink 

  Chain mail pants with a missing link
