Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

In days of old in a kingdom bold, there lived a fearsome dragon.
\nAnd the King he was in great distress and the countries spirits flagoned.
\nUntil one day there came a knight, he was handsome, bold, and charming.
\nAnd he slew the dragon with his sword with a smile that was so disarming.
\nWith a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, a smile that was so disarming.<\/p>\n

Said the King I wish to know your name, but the knight said do not bother.
\nFor the name of a knight of the realm says he, is the same as any other.
\nSaid the King tonight in my daughter’s bed you shall take your leisure.
\nAnd she’ll reward you for your deed, with a night of exhausting pleasure.
\nWith a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, anight of exhausting pleasure.<\/p>\n

One daughter she had raven hair, a maiden young and chaste.
\nAnd she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to the waist.
\nThe other daughter she was fair, the fairest in the town.
\nAnd she slept all night in the pale moonlight naked from her small waist down.
\nWith a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, naked from her small waist down.<\/p>\n

Well the knight he spends many hour behind the castle wall.
\nBut the ending to my story dear, isn’t what it seems at all.
\nFor in neither bed of neither maid was he repaid for his glory.
\nBut he slept all night with the King instead for this is a fairy story.
\nWith a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, for this is a Fairy story.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
