Thread Name: Lyr Req: False Knight (#3, from Pete & Chris Coe)
Subject: Lyr Add: FALSE KNIGHT (from Pete & Chris Coe?)
I don't know if these are the words as sung by the Coes, but this is what Anne and I used to sing a long time back. We learnt it from Chris and Steve Wilson many and many a year ago. It's not stretching the imagination too far to guess that they got it from the Coes.

Oh, where are you going ?
Said the False Knight to the Child On The Road
Oh, I'm going to my school
Said the bonny little girl of seven years

Oh, and what go you there for?
Said the False Knight to the Child On The Road
For to learn the word of God
Said the bonny little girl of seven years

Oh, I wish you on the land
Said the False Knight to the Child On The Road
With a good staff in my hand
Said the bonny little girl of seven years

Oh, I wish you on the sea
Said the False Knight to the Child On The Road
With a good boat under me
Said the bonny little girl of seven years

Oh, I wish you were in yonder tree
Said the False Knight to the Child On The Road
With a ladder under me
Said the bonny little girl of seven years

Oh, I think I hear the bell
Said the False Knight to the Child On The Road
And it's ringing you to Hell
Said the bonny little girl of seven years old

Chris
