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.
