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
