In the days of old, in a kingdom bold, there lived a fearsome dragon
        G              D                                          A7

Said the king, "I wish to know your name." But the knight said, "Do not bother."
         G                       D                                    A7
"For the name of a knight in the realm," said he, "is the same as any other."
G               D                       G                       A7
Said the king, "Tonight in my daughters bed you shall take your leisure,
    G                   D                                        A7

With a hey and a ho, and a hey nanny no, a night of exhausting pleasure

    G                D             G                A7
One daughter she had raven hair, a maiden young and chaste
        G                      D                            A7
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to the waist
G                  D                 G              A7
The other daughter she was fair, the fairest in the town
        G                      D                                         A7
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight naked from her small waist down
       G         D         G         A7  D              A7          D
With a hey and a ho, and a hey nanny no, naked from her small waist down

         G                D            G                 A7
Well the knight did spend many an hour behind the castle walls
        G                  D                           A7
But the ending to my story here isn't what it seems at all
G                      D                       G              A7
For in neither bed, of either daughter, was he repaid for his glory
       G                        D                A7              D
But he spend all night with the king instead for this is a fairy story
       G         D         G         A7      D         A7    D
With a hey and a ho, and a hey nanny no, for this is a fairy story
