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

[Verse]
G Em F C G
I have with me a mantle, no lady can resist
Em F C G
But it shall ne'er become that wife that hath once done amiss
Em D C G Am C
For if she be unfaithful, in tatters it shall fall
Em D C G Am D
And if she be but honest, she'll brighten any hall"
[Verse]
G Em F C G
And first there came Queen Guinevere, for she should lead the way
Em F C G
And she was surely in great doubt, although she would not say
Em D C G Am C
And then she took the mantle, as if she'd been a maid
Em D C G Am D
And suddenly from top to toe, it loosely fell in shreds
G Em F C G
And then it coloured brightest red, and then it coloured green
G Em F C G
And then it coloured darkest black, so ill did her beseem
[Verse]
Em D C G Am C
And then up spoke King Arthur and angrier he grew
Em D C G Am D
"By all the knights of England, I think thou be not true"
G Em F C G
And she threw down the mantle for all the court to see
Em F C G
And blushed as red as roses and to her room did flee
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G Em F C G
Sir Kay called forth his lady and bade her to come near
Em F C G
And said, "If thou be guilty, I pray thee hold thee there"
Em D C G Am C
And so forth came his lady, so bold she did appear
Em D C G Am D
And likewise was embarrassed and cried for all to hear
G Em F C G
And likewise all the gentle knights who thought their wives most true
Em F C G
Commanded them to try it on and bitterly did rue
[Instrumental]

[Verse]

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