When I was just a lad of ten,
My father said to me,
Come here and take a lesson from,
The belted Chivalry.
Don't put your trust in knights, my boy,
My father said to me.
Come here and watch the Vikings kill
The belted Chivalry.
_Chivalry, very pretty,
And the Ladies all are sweet,
But they find that the Vikings are
Impossible to beat._
But when I grew I fell in love,
And the lady said to me,
I think that I will keep my heart
For the belted Chivalry.
I said that I'd become a knight
As quick as quick can be.
The music of her laughter hid
My father's words from me.
_Chivalry, very pretty,
And the Ladies all are sweet,
But they find that the Vikings are
Impossible to beat._
So off to tourney I did go
A squire all belted red.
A rattan broadsword in my hand,
A helmet on my head.
I stepped onto the tourney field
To fight so nobly,
Then a blow from Viking axe
Caved in my helm for me.
_Chivalry, very pretty,
And the Ladies all are sweet,
But they find that the Vikings are
Impossible to beat._
They had to bear me from the field
For I could hardly see,
But I could hear my lady wooing
Belted Chivalry.
So if I ever love again
I know that you will see
A girl who wants a Viking love,
No belted Chivalry.
_Chivalry, very pretty,
And the Ladies all are sweet,
But they find that the Vikings are
Impossible to beat._
_Chivalry, very pretty,
And the Ladies all are sweet,
But they find that the Vikings are
Impossible to beat._
