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

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

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

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