- "The Legend of the Sword in the Stone" music and lyrics by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman. Hoping Randy Thornton or someone else in Disney Co. will produce the Original Sound Track of this wonderful masterpiece of animation (I'd like to hear "Robin Hood", "The Rescuers" and "The Fox and the Hound" as well).
A legend is sung
Of when England was young
And knights were brave and bold
The good king had died
And no one could decide
Who was rightful heir to the throne
It seemed that the land
Would be torn by war
Or saved by a miracle alone
And that miracle appeared
In London town
The sword in the stone
(And below the hilt, in letters of gold, were written these words: Whoso pulleth this sword from this stone and anvil is rightwise king born of England)
Though they tried for the sword
With all their might
No knight
In all the land
Could draw the wondrous blade
From its resting place
Its secret, they could not understand
The one who was meant to rule the land
And worthy of the throne
He will seek the sword with a humble heart
And not for himself alone
He will be the one who was born to claim
The Sword In The Stone
All the rights for it belongs to the Disney Company. It was not meant for profit.
This is my favourite Disney movie intro EVER. God bless the man who sung this and the one who came up with the lyrics.
Music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, sung by Fred Darian. Fred was born in the States in 1927, an actor and a composer himself. He starred in "Cuban Calypso", "Out of Sight" (he was the composer of that movie), "Walk the Dark Street" and was part of the "Colgate Comedy Hour". Songs sung by Fred: "My Island Serenade", "Strong Man", "The Legend of the Ghost stage", "Battle of Gettysburg", "Johnny Willow" and many more
It really captures the feel of a fairytale story. like you are about to hear an epic tale.
Best intro in my opinion too.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government
This is super under appreciated compared to most disney songs, I think this is one of the best but it never gets brought up in people's favorites
The film isn't so distinctive but I have some Arthurian nostalgia. This is as good a start to Arthuriana as any.
An introduction truly worthy of the bard.
I am one, gigantic, anthropomorphic goosebump right now.
Majestic.
Lol, wishing you well in 2022, Ray.
Fuck Yeah!
This is where I come when I've been watching The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones too much 😆
It is of a like spirit with LOTR.
This song has always reminded me of The Minstrel of Gondor when he sings "Frodo of the nine fingers".
I LOVE that this is song in a similar style that a Bard would've sung it back in the day I keep hearing this and I think they should've used the WHOLE of this song for the opening its so good
The way that Taliesin would have sung it!
This is INCREDIBLE! When I was little, I always wished this song was longer, I loved it so. And now I find this. Thank you so much for sharing, this is a treasure!
me too
Sir How old are you now. Sorry It is a personal question. If you don't want to that's okay.
I love it too. I have a weakness for operatic singing, and The Sword in the Stone is my favorite Disney movie
They removed one line from George Burns narration. BORN OF ENGLAND.
One of my earliest memories is watching this film in the living room with my mother. Thank you for this.
That's one of my earliest memories too ❤️
It bothers me that the soundtrack isn't the exact sung version from the movie, but I like this extended version of this song.
Abelhawk is this maybe the demo version?
@@richardbourton4523 That's what I was thinking. Disney would create demos during the production of the film, only then they would alter the work or delete it from the final cut. I think Disney should focus on releasing the soundtrack with a variety of demos.
Kate The Miku Fan I'd buy it, especially if they all have multiple verses. I want to learn the 'full' song.
True to the prophecy Arthur drew the sword because he needed a sword to give Kay for his duel, he was just trying to be a good squire.
:O
...I forgot how utterly amazing this song was...
Beautiful. :)
sadly at the same time you had to see WHY they couldn't use it because it basically gave away the ending for those who didn't know the legend the one they used basically gave enough info
@@nicklancial7103 Who cares! It's not like the story was based on some "twist", everybody who has any knowledge of who King Arthur is knows the ending anyway. Not everything is about "spoilers".
@@blueteller I'm just saying that Disney did alot of research back in the day and well they cared alot more about not giving away too much before the actual scene if you saw my comment further up you'd see that I said that they should've used the whole song for the intro because it was really really good ......this came out back before the Internet and that it would've been impossible for anyone to look up info on the spot if they didn't read anything before hand
This song should be used in the trailer for the planned live action, Disney film of the sword in the stone.Maybe a more haunting or ominous version and the first teaser should show off imagery that matches the lyrics then when it says the sword in the stone the title should come up. When it says the miracle appeared that should be the first time in the trailer we see Merlin, maybe stepping from the shadows. Derek Jacobi would make a good Merlin like the animated one, Disney should cast him.
It Seemed That The Land Would Be Torn By War
Legofilmwhofan1 good idea
No, this is in the style of an old Medieval Bard song, it should not be modernized
One of the only things I like about the constant and unnecessary live action remakes is the beautifully forced epicness of the trailer versions of these iconic songs. It's there in the Aladdin trailer, Maleficent did it with Lana Del Ray's Once Upon a Dream, even the Nutcracker (which of course I know isn't a remake but still). I look forward to the Inception bwarms bombastically sounding through a full on orchestral instrumental version of this song.
Or they could make something that's not a shity remake
The fact Disney went from this to Awkwafina rapping is tragic.
corporate greed will do that to ya. I prefer the older Disney stuff too. 😔
Glad they aren't remaking this one, given how they're butchering "Snow White".
I've never heard this version before.
Me neither, but I love it.
@@sampeacaml9307 This is the first time I heard this version too.
I am reading “Morte de Arthur” and “The Once and Future King” right now, and this brings a tear to my eyes.

Legends of strength and valor and miracles are inspiring.... Something to aspire and to internalize inside
Lyrics from "The Sword in the Stone"
Composed by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
A legend is sung
Of when England was young
And knights were brave and bold
The good king had died
And no one could decide
Who was rightful heir
To the throne
It seemed that the land
Would be torn by a war
Or saved by a miracle
Alone
And that miracle appeared
In London town
The sword
In the stone
But who sings it?
Fred Darian.@@samrobacker346
You seem to be missing a hell of a lot of lyrics.
@macraeman Wow I didn't know it was Darian singing. I wonder why Disney never released an ufficial soundtrack of this movie. Ok, it was not succesful in USA, but neither was Alice, Peter Pan or the Aristocats and they all have their OST. That's What Makes the World Go Round, The Most Befuddeling Thing, Wart's Flight score and the dish washing one deserve to be put on CD
"And little did Young Arthur know that the moment he took up the sword would lead him to a bright future for the kingdom, but will also end with a horrible and terrible fate"
I knew you would comment on the video as well 😂but i'm glad to see you here my friend!
I can't separate Disney's The Sword in the Stone from Lerner and Loewe's Celot since the source is the same and the tragic fate is told so brilliantly. As the Disney movie, the Broadway musical underlined the comic part of the tale to the T.H.White folklore, but it's finale speaks for itself
What horrible fate?
@@nickyricardo7034 in the legend of king Arthur he ruled the kingdom of Camelot and lived a life of justice and goodness to his people of britain but then his life fell to Betrayal, Sin and Death. Because as years went by Arthur was married to a woman named Guinevere but Arthur's Trusted Knight Lancelot started having a Love affair with her behind The kings back Then Arthur fell to a horrible sin by his Half older twin sister named Morgana who was a apprentice of merlin was so obsessed with being the ruler that she not only betrayed Merlin but both Camelot And arthur by using a spell to disguise herself as Guinevere to Sleep with arthur to make a "Clone" of Arthur named Mordred who in time rebelled against Arthur and Camelot that began the war known as The Battle of Camlann Hill where both Arthur and Mordred Struck each other down which both died from their wounds thus Ending the legend of king arthur.
@@ArchShadesPretty much the plot of Excalibur 1981
It's been ages since I have heard this. Good memories from my childhood.
This song reminds me of some golden time long passed away, when mankind was good and noble. I loved this film as a boy, and still do. I hope that one day the golden times of honor and chivalry can come again.
This movie was very comedic and a lot of fun
But DAMN!!!!
Watching it again this song is brilliant!! Give that tenor all the awards
0.75 make this is better
There's something very emotional about this song. Sadness, but with a glimmer of hope.
I love how this one opens up with a minstrel-type song.
They recorded the soundtrack separate from the film itself, which I think was a mistake. It's just not quite the same and they sing it slightly different ("Higitus Figitus" is especially bad). I do like hearing the extended lyrics on this though!
I am so proud that my parents grew me up with proper animation, with quality art and music
Not the abominations we see today
One of my alltime favorit films since I was a boy. The whole idea of knigths being brave and bold and that one who draws the sword is the most noble of the heart and also a humble and poor boy. The image of a real king in my opnion.
I have watched this movie so many times before, and still it amazes me every time because it tells the story of being a good person and also figthing the good figth.
All rise for the National Anthem of Camelot.
Oh, yeah. This is good stuff. I, too, never realized there was a second verse. When I was a kid, I watched my worn-out old VHS copy of this a couple times a day, whenever I wasn't watching my old worn-out VHS copy of He-Man: Secret of the Stone. Those were good times, indeed. To this day, I remember more lines from these two movies than I do from anything else.
Same here, on VHS. I enjoyed this immensely, saw used to drink hot cups of tea with like sugar cookies like they did in the movie. I loved the design of the sword. This and Robin Hood made me love medieval times in England.
3 years later and I'm only thanking you for this now. Had no idea it existed as a full song. Thank you
Unfortunately disney doesn't know how to make classics like this anymore they will ruin it with another shitty reboot thats 4k and horrible acting and senseless music with no purpose anymore that's what the movie industry is now including disney no more creativity just stupid copy cats of this legend in the 60s that will never be touched or replicated again like these rare jem's and like Robin Hood ,Bed Noms and Brooms Sticks and Pete's dragon 🐉 look how bad that reboot was absolutely a mockery of these timeless classics that only keep getting better with age
This song always gives me goosebumps.
I love this opening and feel like it set it up to be almost as good as Sleeping Beauty - so to get the rest of the film as it stood is a bit of a letdown. I know it has a cult following, but it was disappointing given the talent that worked on it.
I love Disney so much! 😍
This is one of my favourite Disney movies. It would be so cool if Once Upon a Time did something on King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table x)
+Laura Bowden The first half of the Fifth season deals with Excalibur and Arthur.
Mike Felix I know- I posted this before the announcement came out! I was actually pleasantly surprised. And I'm suspicious of the fact that I might be psychic... ;)
Thats what I am talking about.. what an amazing voice..
Listen to the Italian version, you will not regret it!
"La spada nella roccia - Introduzione"
Reminds me of the sword of justice given to Michael..
I remember in 4th grade we had to watch this because of our medieval unit we were learning about
Andrea Giglio:
As a thank you for this exact song/clip, I'd like to offer my channel playlists contents. Respect for you liking this. Best wishes!
I love this, but I wish the singer, Fred Darian had sung this version (soundtrack) exactly the same as the movie and extended the notes in the beginning.
Well, usually the vynil version was different for it was thought for another market. That, is when the cover was not taken straight from the movie. Think about the end of "Sister Suffragettes", or the end of "Gaston". I love the fact that they made a different version so we can enjoy the both of them. We can always make a mash-up. Unfortunatly we still don't have an original soundtrack, but I hope Randy Thornton will publish a new albums for his Disney Legacy Collection serie, including The Sword in the Stone this time
@@giagia282 I see where you're coming from. I too hope this film one day gets a release of its score, not just the songs. Maybe in 2023 when the film reaches its 60th anniversary. I also loved the music right as the book appears in the opening then carries over into the legend. Very middle-ages like music. The book is great too. Many say it's slow and boring at times that the other three of T.H. White's tetralogy are better. I disagree. The Once and Future King is a great book.
O shit i haven't heard the lyrics past 1:25 before. Noice!!!!!
I never thought this song had a second part! thank you very much for uploading it!
I need to rewatch this movie
Uncredited Paul Frees did the narration in the middle of the song. The words " Of all England" was inadvertantly omitted in the recording. Frees narration takes the viewer to the dark ages.
It sounded like Sebastian Cabot to me
@@tlw1950 that's what I thought
I have always loved this song. And the man singing mesmerizing.

Risë Hickey (Me): *1 night, I sang "The Legend of the Sword in the Stone" from Disney's "The Sword in the Stone" beautifully*
(Sung beautifully) A legend's sung o' when England was young, & knights were brave & bold, the good King'd died, & no-one'd decide whom was rightful heir to the throne; it seemed that the land'd be torn by war or saved by a miracle alone, & that miracle appeared in London town - the Sword in the Stone,....& below the hilt in letters o' gold were written these words: "Whomso pulleth out this sword o' this stone & anvil's rightwise King born o' England.";....though they tried for the sword w/ all their might, no knight in all the land'd draw the wondrous blade from its restin' place, its secret they couldn't understand; the one whom was meant to rule the land & worthy o' the throne, he'll seek the sword w/ a humble heart, & not for himself alone - he'll be the one whom was born to claim the Sword in the Stone
Im so proud to be English/British
Where is this version of the song from? I must know.
Anything after the 90s isn't worth remembering
Why Can’t I find this on iTunes??
this is fucking awesome...
The previous comment blew my mind that this is now going to be 60 years old this year. I may not have grown up in this era of Disney but this has always been one of my absolute favorites.
It is difficult to say what my favorite Disney movie is, but I will say The Jungle Book, The Sword in the Stone and Robin Hood have been my 3 favorites since I was a child. I would mostly put Jungle Book at number one and Sword in the Stone a close second.
Such a beautiful song
One of the most beautiful Disney songs! Great post, thanks for this!
Happy 60th anniversary Sword in the Stone! ⚔
Thank you, I've been making the ultimate Disney playlist with every Disney song, and I just added this one.
Kinda sounds like Peter Yarrow, even though I know it isn't. It was apparently Fred Darian, who doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.
Whosoever pulls this Sword
From this Anvil
(And be Pure of Heart)
Is Rightwise *King*
Absolutely wonderful.
Before Disney got woke...
Wow! I've not heard the second part before, but, WOW, when he hit that high note!
fucking chills
I like this movie since I was little boy and I'll saving Hollywood for stopping all this ridiculous madness in today's world and planning to bringing the 2-D animated style from Disney once again for my dream job.
good luck
@@logistically674 thank you very much.
I want to play mad madam mim so badly!
The second verse was omitted from the film.
please never take this video down or delete your channel. It's a beautiful song and this is the only good video of it
But till we
Once again
May retake our lands
To return justice and liberty of old
We will hide in sight, to light the fires, the last sparks of hoooope
Collège Philippe L'Amour vous êtes la !!??! 🕴🏾🕴🏾⚰️🕴🏾🕴🏾
2:29 gut wrenchingly beautiful.
Damn! Yes! You're absolutely right! Shivers!
Heart tugging too.
Though many men tried for the sword with all their strength, none could move the sword nor stir it. So the miracle had not worked. The peoples of England was still without a king. And in time, the marvelous sword was forgotten.
Fflewder Fflam
So calm that i want to sleep
I'm not crying, i just got a sword in my eye 😭
i like the movie version better too, but i like the whole song in this
A beautiful voice
Thanks for uplording. I first heard this version recorded DQ1287(LP), Disneyland Record, coupled with "Tubby the Tuba" ,which releaced at London in 1970 as one of "Disneyland Castle Series". The second verse was not used in original movie.
See, I knew there was a second verse because I have a collection of old cassette tapes called the wonderful world of Disney. And this is on it. I only wish I could get this from the itunes music store.
love this track, have to cover this one day!
It’s a crime this song isn’t on Spotify
Anything made by Buena Vista and Disney Back then Was A Golden Masterpiece and there will be never one like it again on that level
Movies back then were absolutely magical in storytelling and scope. The beautiful scores were final icing on the cake 🎂. There's no magic or inspiration anymore 😢, seems to be all political and personal agendas and corporate profit. I've noticed that most movie scores sound very generic with "NO" hearts or emotions. I really want to bringing the back those types of movies that I grew up with ever since I was toddler and younger ages in 2000s era with more "Absolutely Magical", "Storytelling" and "Scope". Even more "Heart and Emotion". There totally needs to be a time when humans really need to make a "True" animated movie that touched the soul and heart of the viewers of all ages. Somebody hand-drawn and computer animation, it's not just the movies, TV shows as well for all ages on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, and the Walt Disney company needs to take there place in the circle of animations shows and movies for everyone. I hope sometimes in the future, My family would see the newspaper or different articles on the internet of their own cellphones 📱 about I finally got my dream job as "Ian Cassidy save the Walt Disney Company for bringing the 2-D animated style in order pay homage and tribute to past Disney's 2-D animated style movies were made in old glory days". "Ian Cassidy made his promise to have more Magic and/or Inspiration from 2-D animated movies from Disney."Walt Disney Company made an agreement with Ian Cassidy to have Disney's 2-D animated style movies to have music to be more Heart and Emotion with Absolutely Magical, Storytelling and Scope as well". "The Walt Disney Company celebrated Ian Cassidy's birthday party for being our Savior of bringing the old school Disney 2-D animated style movies." I'm thinking Disney stuff never meant always for kids, it's for everyone, mostly adults, back in the day, same with Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, unlike nowadays. Everything is for kids and family. Movies back then taught us about the importance of friendship, loyalty, kindness, compassion, determination, etc. A lot of movies do that, but there are still some good ones. The main ones that are awful to me are intentionally bad just for money, a cash grab. 😒 Cause The old Disney movies were so awesome. I had a little dark things that you don't see now those days in Disney movies. Movies still have an important message, though, but the movies are too sweet. There's a video Looney Tunes that they are soft and not that dangerous silliness we know. Because it's saver for the kids? I mean I can understand kids now those days are misunderstanding and would do anything for likes and views but making the cartoons soft won't change the fact that they grow up to be misunderstood, they become uncaring anyways because of the internet. People became too soft, with real snowflakes. Wow, I really missed the good old days when Cartoons were good. Today, it's a quick cash grab, with the use of effects and big names in the movies. I love the storytelling part, the sending a message to the audience, that's what should be, the soul and heart needs to come back in films and Hollywood became too powerful, meaning they can get away with making bad movies. Back then, movies had individualist them. Today, it's about ideas like social justice and feminism. Those ideas take away from the true hero's journey and make it difficult to identify with the characters. This is the reason so many people nowadays just stick with the older movies, and the ones grew up with them because that's precisely what those kinds of movies did for them. They were heartfelt, funny, for all the ages, full of value, and are consistently good every time you watch them. While one of the purposes was the company to make money, they still wanted to deliver a quality product to the viewers, and it feels like they've lost that. We took for granted 💔 how well animated movies in the 1990s and 2000s were, outside the animation being revolutionary for its time, the writing was also well written that even being 30. I can still watch movies like Ice Age (2002) and actually enjoy them. Yes, and a lot have avoided those powerful, morally complex stories in favor of something safer. Sure, the effects look amazing, but the heart isn't there anymore, The Toy Story series is an exception because all fours are capable of rivaling each other. Who says that Disney movies are just for kids? Adults can watch it as well, They have some life lessons which apply to both kids and adults. For example, what do we learn from The Little Mermaid, from my perspective, that movie learned us that never sell yourself to an evil person, also if the deal is bad, don't take it. What about Cinderella? It taught us that dreams can come true and that no matter with circumstances, they are always good and kind. What about Pocahontas? Love conquer all, and one must find their own way, other movies that have powerful messages, and excellent music. Nowadays, everything must be political ,which is sad and heartbreaking 💔. I definitely want to bring it back for my dream job in the future. Movies today are made to appeal to as wide an audience as possible and make as much money as possible. Back in the day, while profit and marketability were important, producers and directors had more freedom to be creative and make movies that were original, innovative, and memorable. People think it's all nostalgia goggles and being unfair to modern movies, but no. It's all the value and quality of the movies back then, the delivery, lessons, everything all that is gone nowadays. Technology creates the story these days, not the soul of the writer. Like how back in the old good days, we didn't over-analyze anything. We just sat back and enjoyed stuff. 😉 Animated movies are not like what they once were. The effort, the details, and the passion just aren't there anymore in modern animated movies, really sad. Movies nowadays are made by algorithms, not people. Today's cartoons don't have as many good, fun, and exciting masterpieces as the old cartoons. Too political... everything has to have "a message"... and the sense of pure fun is missing. I also find alot of movies nowadays try to be comedy's with over the top cringey dialogue and try way to hard to be funny, Not everybody wants to be laughing throughout the entirety of the movie (Or so they expect us to be laughing).It seriously is heartbreaking to see all that hard work and time people put into a film only for it to be completely thrown out near the end because studio executives lost faith in it. I can't imagine how frustrating that is. We don't want or need a joke every two seconds. Just give us a movie where the serious scenes don't get ruined by an out of place joke. That's not how movies should be made. Technology is supposed to simplify our lives and should not mean taking responsibilities away from us altogether. Box Office movies nowadays wouldn't even hold a candle even to a classic cartoon like This (The Land Before Time) in terms of depth and feel. Those big hits feel like they are just watched because of their name brand, not because of the quality itself at all. Once you watch them, they make you feel like you just wasted your time leading up to it and the huge money of it, too. That's why I feel like a winner when I don't watch the movies of this decade or even the past decade.
They don't make em like they used to all pish now
I love this theme song
Anybody have any idea what key this is sung in?
I believe it’s C#?
What a glorious era
Who is the performer?
Hopefully Disney will finish the whole series this time.
I notice giagia282 dubbed out the "...born of England" part.
Sublime 🥹
I have an old French vinyle disc with the whole version of the song; there is the translation's text:
"D'après la légende
L'Angleterre autrefois
Avait un si bon roi
Que lorsqu'il mourut
Nul ne put décider
Qui serait son noble héritier
Alors le pays pleura son destin
Lorsqu'un miracle un matin survint
Car dans la ville de Londres
On vit soudain
L'épée dans l'enclume
De nombreux chevaliers sont alors venus
Autant d'espoirs déçus
Aucun d'entre eux ne put retirer l'épée
Dont ils ignoraient le secret
Afin de régner, il fallait surtout
Un cœur honnête et doux
Savoir rester humble, et donner aussi
Sa vie entière au pays
Alors, celui-là pourrait retirer
L'épée de l'enclume"
Do someone could add the whole English version, but without the reading of the sword's words?
Could you please post it here on UA-cam?
Hail Atlantis
❤🎉
Joueur du Grenier did a parody of this in his Disney games review.
I didn't know there was a second verse!
You know? I miss old Disney. Maybe not everything about old Disney. But I miss this. I really, really miss this.
Can anyone post the lyrics pls cause in lazy
I still have this VHS! This is a HIGHLY underrated song from Disney, definitely in my top 3 faves🥲💓
fantastic movie - thanks for uploading!
