[Verse]
Gm Ab D# A#
In the third month of the year, to Camelot did come
Gm Ab D# A#
G gentle and a courteous child that knew much wisdom
Gm F D# A# Cm D#
G tunic and a mantle this young child had on
Gm F D# A# Cm F
With broaches and ringes, full richly bedone
[Verse]
A# Gm Ab D# A#
He had a suit of eastern silk about his middle drawn
Gm Ab D# A#
And if he lacked in courtesy, he thought of it much shame
Gm F D# A# Cm D#
"God speed thee, King Arthur, sitting at thy meat
Gm F D# A# Cm F
And the goodly Queen Guinevere, I cannot her forget
[Instrumental]
A# Gm Ab D#
A# Gm Ab D#
[Verse]
A# Gm Ab D# A#
I have with me a mantle, no lady can resist
Gm Ab D# A#
But it shall ne'er become that wife that hath once done amiss
Gm F D# A# Cm D#
For if she be unfaithful, in tatters it shall fall
Gm F D# A# Cm F
And if she be but honest, she'll brighten any hall"
[Verse]
A# Gm Ab D# A#
And first there came Queen Guinevere, for she should lead the way
Gm Ab D# A#
And she was surely in great doubt, although she would not say
Gm F D# A# Cm D#
And then she took the mantle, as if she'd been a maid
Gm F D# A# Cm F
And suddenly from top to toe, it loosely fell in shreds
A# Gm Ab D# A#
And then it coloured brightest red, and then it coloured green
A# Gm Ab D# A#
And then it coloured darkest black, so ill did her beseem
[Verse]
Gm F D# A# Cm D#
And then up spoke King Arthur and angrier he grew
Gm F D# A# Cm F
"By all the knights of England, I think thou be not true"
A# Gm Ab D# A#
And she threw down the mantle for all the court to see
Gm Ab D# A#
And blushed as red as roses and to her room did flee
[Instrumental]
Gm F D# A# D# F
[Verse]
A# Gm Ab D# A#
Sir Kay called forth his lady and bade her to come near
Gm Ab D# A#
And said, "If thou be guilty, I pray thee hold thee there"
Gm F D# A# Cm D#
And so forth came his lady, so bold she did appear
Gm F D# A# Cm F
And likewise was embarrassed and cried for all to hear
A# Gm Ab D# A#
And likewise all the gentle knights who thought their wives most true
Gm Ab D# A#
Commanded them to try it on and bitterly did rue
[Instrumental]

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