[Verse]
Am A# F C
In the third month of the year, to Camelot did come
Am A# F C
A gentle and a courteous child that knew much wisdom
Am G F C Dm F
A tunic and a mantle this young child had on
Am G F C Dm G
With broaches and ringes, full richly bedone
[Verse]
C Am A# F C
He had a suit of eastern silk about his middle drawn
Am A# F C
And if he lacked in courtesy, he thought of it much shame
Am G F C Dm F
"God speed thee, King Arthur, sitting at thy meat
Am G F C Dm G
And the goodly Queen Guinevere, I cannot her forget
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C Am A# F C
I have with me a mantle, no lady can resist
Am A# F C
But it shall ne'er become that wife that hath once done amiss
Am G F C Dm F
For if she be unfaithful, in tatters it shall fall
Am G F C Dm G
And if she be but honest, she'll brighten any hall"
[Verse]
C Am A# F C
And first there came Queen Guinevere, for she should lead the way
Am A# F C
And she was surely in great doubt, although she would not say
Am G F C Dm F
And then she took the mantle, as if she'd been a maid
Am G F C Dm G
And suddenly from top to toe, it loosely fell in shreds
C Am A# F C
And then it coloured brightest red, and then it coloured green
C Am A# F C
And then it coloured darkest black, so ill did her beseem
[Verse]
Am G F C Dm F
And then up spoke King Arthur and angrier he grew
Am G F C Dm G
"By all the knights of England, I think thou be not true"
C Am A# F C
And she threw down the mantle for all the court to see
Am A# F C
And blushed as red as roses and to her room did flee
[Instrumental]
Am G F C F G
[Verse]
C Am A# F C
Sir Kay called forth his lady and bade her to come near
Am A# F C
And said, "If thou be guilty, I pray thee hold thee there"
Am G F C Dm F
And so forth came his lady, so bold she did appear
Am G F C Dm G
And likewise was embarrassed and cried for all to hear
C Am A# F C
And likewise all the gentle knights who thought their wives most true
Am A# F C
Commanded them to try it on and bitterly did rue
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Am A# F C
And then there came a faded knight, Sir Craddocke was his name
Am A# F C
And all the knights of Arthur's court, of him had sport and game
Am G F C Dm F
"Win this mantle, Lady, and it shall all be thine
Am G F C Dm G
And if thou ever did amiss, the shame is there for mine"
C Am A# F C
His lady took the mantle and cast it her about
Am A# F C
"Bow down to me good mantle and shame me not for nowt
Am G F C Dm F
For once I did part one amiss, I'll tell thee certainly
Am G F C Dm G
For once I lay in Craddocke's bed, before he married me"
[Verse]
C Am A# F C
When she had made confession and all her sins are told
Am A# F C
The mantle stood about her, in bright array she stood
Am G F C Dm F
So seemly of colour and glittering of gold
Am G F C Dm G
Then all the knights of Arthur's court, her beauty did behold
C Am A# F C
So Craddocke stood in glory, his lady proven true
Am A# F C
And all the knights of Arthur's court, have surely got their due
[Outro]
