Knight In Rusty Armour:Peter And Gordon. Top of the charts in 1966. #1. Long ago, in days of old, there lived a knight who wasn't quite as bold, as a knight should be. He rode an old grey mare called Bess, searchin' for a damsel in distress...just to see if he, could set her free. Chorus: See the knight in rusty armour ride..To her aid. Trusty sword is hanging at his side..With a rusty blade. #2. Up the tower steps he sneaked, but as he moved, his rusty armour squeaked..Such a mournful note.. that all the sentries at their posts, thought it must have been the castle ghost. They jumped for their lives..In the moat. Chorus:#2. So the knight in rusty armour won..His fair maid. Had no need to draw his trusty sword..With a rusty blade. #3. As he bent to kiss his bride, he found that he was rusted up inside..in his battle dress. And I can't guess... How they still got married and had twins. They came in tins. Every suit of armour ever made, has a kink, chain mail pants with a missing link. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
