Verse 1

High above the snow-white cliffs

 of Dover, by the sea

 there lives a bold courageous knight

 who rides a trusty steed.

Chorus

Sound your battle cry

 and he will soon be nigh.

Fast he will ride to be there by your side,

 the gallant knight is he,

yes, the gallant knight is he.

Verse 2

Danger comes at ev'ry pass

 but none can slow his stride

standing strong in ev'ry test

 he wields his sword with pride.

Chorus

Sound your battle cry

 and he will soon be nigh.

Fast he will ride to be there by your side,

 the gallant knight is he,

yes, the gallant knight is he.

Verse 3

(Broadly)

Some men say the gallant knight

 is just the stuff of dreams,

 but I have seen him face to face (Back to Reg Tempo)

 and he gave this charge to me.

Chorus

Sound your battle cry

 and he will soon be nigh.

Fast he will ride to be there by your side,

 the gallant knight is he,

yes, the gallant knight is he.

Ending

Fast he will ride to be there by your side,

 the gallant knight is he.
