Sir Bevin's Luck

Verse 1

Sir Bevin rode out in his cotton shirt

The marshals all swore he'd get hurt

No plate, no mail, no helm at all

Just a stubborn grin and a sunburnt jaw

Pre-Chorus

The captain begged him please put steel on

Said arrows tend to bite when armor's gone

Chorus

He's the knight who never wears a thing

And still the arrows only find his ring

They swing and they slash but they miss by a hair

The fool in the fight or the luckiest there

Verse 2

The first great ogre charged him down

Club raised up to pound the ground

Sir Bevin tripped on his own two feet

And the ogre smacked the pillar next to the street

Pre-Chorus

The dragon breathed a wall of flame

He ducked and it toasted the horse's mane

Chorus

He's the knight who never wears a thing

And still the arrows only find his ring

They swing and they slash but they miss by a hair

The fool in the fight or the luckiest there

Bridge

They crown him at the feast tonight

For winning every single fight

But ask how much of it was skill

And he just shrugs and drinks his fill

Chorus

He's the knight who never wears a thing

And still the arrows only find his ring

They swing and they slash but they miss by a hair

The fool in the fight or the luckiest there

The fool in the fight or the luckiest there
