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.
Fast he will ride to be there by your side,
the gallant knight is he.
