Am            G
Rode a knight down a road,
         Am         G
In great splendor bestowed,
       Am     G      D       Am
Well-a-billy, bolly, biddy a-day.
         Am       G
With his squire beside,
     Am          G
To accompany his ride,
       Am     G      D       Am
Well-a-billy, bolly, biddy a-day.

         F            G
Then the trap, it was sprung,
  Em            Am
A net above was flung,
       F      G             Am
Well-a-billy, bolly biddy a-day.
       F            G
By the ropes he was downed,
                     Am
Him the coils did surround,
F     G       Am
Bolly biddy a-day!

Came the robbers from the woods,
For to kill him for his goods,
Well-a-billy, bolly biddy a-day.
But the dagger to his eye,
Final thrust went awry,
Well-a-biddy, bolly, biddy a-day.

For the squire, he was free,
And he didn't turn and flee,
Well-a-billy, bolly biddy a-day.
Parry, chop, slash about,
While my master cut him out!
Bolly biddy a-day!

Very quickly was the knight
Out from bondage and upright,
Well-a-billy, bolly, biddy a-day.
But he bled from an eye,
Knew he had to run or die,
Well-a-billy, bolly, biddy a-day.

And his squire stayed to fight,
For he knew his master's plight,
Well-a-billy, bolly, biddy a-day.
Lost the battle, won the day,
For the knight got clean away,
Bolly biddy a-day.P
