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.
