CAPO: 3 Intro: Lancelot rode on a swayback mare He won in a card game up north somewhere He was bottom-out lonesome, he was too tired to care Keeping one step ahead of the rain Well, he blew into Broken Bow late last year Talking up the vision of his lost Guinevere But he couldn't tell a grail from a glass of beer So he settled for Lady Elaine He sang, "Yodelayhee", "I ain't no untarnished Galahad Down from Arcadia like a dream in your head But gentle lady, lend me the true heart I never had And I'll wash the years from your bed With all the salt tears I have shed", Lancelot said Well, morning came sleepy and morning came slow And the mirror revealed a face she didn't know And the last autumn robin was packing to go As another year slipped by the way So she rose and she dressed and she pushed back the night She put up her hair by the dawn's early light And the man in her bed was an eagle in flight And a crooked old crow in the hay He sang, "Yodelayhee", "I ain't no untarnished Galahad Down from Arcadia like a dream in your head But gentle lady, lend me the true heart I never had And I'll stain the lavenders red With all of this good blood I shed", Lancelot said Instrumental:
