- first song from the album 'Hourglass'
Sir Eglamore was a valiant knight,
fa la lanky down dilly,
He took up his sword and he went to fight,
fa la lanky down dilly.
As he rode o'er hill and dale,
All armored in a coat of mail,
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da, lanky down dilly..
Out came a dragon from her den,
fa la lanky down dilly,
That killed God knows how many men,
fa la lanky down dilly.
When she saw Sir Eglamore,
You should have hear that dragon roar
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da, lanky down dilly.
Well, then the trees began to shake,
fa la lanky down dilly,
Horse did tremble and man did quake,
fa la lanky down dilly.
The birds betook them all to peep,
it would have made a grown man weep,
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da, lanky down dilly.
But all in vain it was to fear,
fa la lanky down dilly,
For now they fall to fight like bears,
fa la lanky down dilly.
To it they go and soundly fight,
the live-long day from more 'till night,
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da, lanky down dilly.
This dragon had a plaguey hide,
fa la lanky down dilly,
That could the sharpest steel abide,
fa la lanky down dilly.
No sword could enter through her skin,
Which vexed the knight and made her grin,
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da, lanky down dilly.
But as in choler she did burn,
fa la lanky down dilly,
He fetched the dragon a great good turn,
fa la lanky down dilly,
As a yawning she did fall,
he thrust his sword up, hilt and all,
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da, lanky down dilly.
Like a coward she did fly,
fa la lanky down dilly.
To her den which was hard by,
fa la lanky down dilly,
There she lay all night and roared,
the knight was sorry for his sword,
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da
Fa la la m ba di n da da n da da.
How can something I've never heard before give me such nostalgia? This music is actual magic.
This was live? Jeese. Could have easily been a studio recording. What a talent she was then and still is now. Seen her last year - epic.
This was just delightful. I'm not sure who to feel sorrier for, the dragon or the knight. I wish Kate would tour the states. I'd drive anywhere to see her.
I’m surprised she hasn’t visited the USA, as her Christmas shows would probably go down really well. Also as a folk singer, her tour would cost very little to put on and be a venue manager’s dream gig!
@@68jroche From what I understand, she’s not a big fan of flying. Sad for us.
I'm a fan of Kate Rusby myself, and was singing along all the way!
Probably doesn't get the exposure she so richly deserves. Love you Kate. January, 2023.
I love the part where she said "would've made a grown man weep"😂
Actually, Sir Eglamore was originally written about a knight rescuing a maiden from a tree, but dragons have become more popular so they've changed the words. Back when this was written (14th century) dragons weren't actually all that popular in tales and wild boars were considered far more scary, probably because they were a legitimate threat of the time. The song comes from the Tales of Sir Eglamore of Artois. I suggest you read the actual stories that the song is an adaptation of.
Fa la la-n-ba, dee-n-da da-n-da,
Fa la la-n-ba, dee-n-da da-n-da,
Fa la la-n-ba, dee-n-da da-n-da,
lanky down dilly...
:-)
We sang a version of this song as part of "Time and Tune" in the late 1970s. It's a very old song. This version/arrangement is very good!
Still here a decade later. What a profound composition.
What a treasure Kate Rusby is, and particularly this "tune".
I've heard two interpretations of this song, both equally supported by the lyrics. 1.) Sir Eglamore has the unique joy of being with a much larger woman than himself. 2.) Sir Eglamore has erectile disfunction, and despite his best efforts, "to it they go and soundly fight the live-long day from morn to night," he's unable to, which "vexed the knight." I'm personally leaning more towards the second interpretation myself, since it explains lines like "the knight was sorry for his sword."
Sweet memories of my happy childhood!
Another brilliant Kate Rusby production - Kate your vocals just flow so beautifully and effortlessly.
You're an inspiration,

Naming the Twins
Fabulous song perfectly sung, thanks Kate.
"Carver! Donlan! Get over here!"
If you get it, you get an imaginary cookie.
Woohoo I get a cookie.
Also, I'm not certain, but did Tom Sidell say that Antimony spoke with Rusby's accent?
🎉🎉🎉
Too much fun!❤️
love her
love this song [ grandma ]

We sang Sir Eglamore to a different version in waltz tempo
the French have a phrase for it; "double enetndre". the English are quite fond of it (see Benny Hill ).so children, grandmas, and the boys at the pub can all have a chuckle.
To clear up a slap-fight from a few years ago in the comments: this' is pretty clearly a bawdy drinking song retelling an embarrassing sexual encounter in euphemistic style. However, there IS an authentic 14th-century English romance named 'Sir Eglamour of Artois', a poem which is a serious knightly tale of love and daring-do, from which I would imagine the song inherited the name. However, other than name there is no connection between the two and this is not an 'adaptation' of Eglamour of Artois by any means.
It's what you want to take from it: My dog Wilson and I take it as St. Andrew and the Dragon. Scotland Forever. Mate.
Very nice! :)
I say sir!
I'd say that was a huge stretch of the imagination, but if that's what you want to think, then go for it.
Is this a traditional song? I wondered because in the movie Dragonheart sir Eglamore is mentioned. He is one of the knights killed by the main character dragon, Draco.
yes, its traditional. Kate has lots of books of old songs, she writes the music and sometimes update the lyrics to a more modern understandable phrasing.
heres the original lyrics to sir eglamore and the dragon, its around 350 years old. www.patana.ac.th/Music/Student%20Resources%20and%20recordings/sir_eglamore_and_the_dragon.htm
Thank you!

Oh the two top comments...I am shielding the innocence of my eyes! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....this is about a dragon and a knight...no sex mentioned whatsoever and it shall stay that way, now goodnight to you!
Raghu and sanju would have liked this song
On the 11/12/2016 Kate sang a song on The Andrew Marr show on BBC1 cannot find it anyone know what it is called and what album is on thanks and Merry Christmas to all .
The big guy is Eglamore.
yes, yes it is. lol
no, i meant what i said. being proven wrong is fine. being insulted isn't.
@roninony
or, we know the history of the song and exactly what the song is about. just saying.
Don't listen to them, they're about as wrong as wrong can be. I hate people who listen to here-say instead of doing the actual research. It would take less than 10 minutes with Google search to find the original Sir Eglamore stories and read them to know what they're really about =/
Fluent gibberish/🎉i mean interesting lyrics ..
Can have you to put lirys
is this a child ballad? if so, which #?

I don't mind being proved wrong because, frankly, its not that important but I won't be called a 'depraved sicko' on my own channel, so knock it off or i'll delete and block you
