Shee an Gannon

Born in the morn and named at noon By evening I was planning A trip to the king of Erin's lands His daughter for to marring Who is this lad before me now? Is what the king was asking I lowered me hood and boldly I stood I am the Shee an Gannon I see your daughter's the fairest of all And every man's deep longing What is the task the king will ask Shall be there no prolonging I fear no risk to win her kiss That's written in the canon For I shall pass all perilous tasks I am the Shee an Gannon Himself now rise oh Erin's king His brow with grief so bent. He says to me, "Go look to the sea Therein lies the serpent." "My daughter's blood is it's request For ataraxis' coming." "Now go to the sea and kill him for me. What say you, Shee an Gannon?" Without a word meself then turned To Druid's land, progressed. To seek the Sward of purest Light And find the Cloak of Darkness. The Stone of Strength I sought as well For strength I'll need for fighting And with these three, I rode to the sea I am the Shee an Gannon! I arrived to find the banners high The world was gathered round Princess alone upon a rock No champion to be found I posed meself as a common man And went to the king to ask him Me lord says I can not spy Where is the Shee an Gannon? I wondered by then to her side My weapons were so hidden Then laid me head upon her lap Said, "Wake me when it's coming." Her scream rang out, I stood about With cloak and sward for dueling I fought with such dread then cut off it's head I AM THE SHEE AN GANNON! Now wedding day had come at last The world was celebrating For the serpent's curse was in the past In that there's no debating The king so moved by this display Took off the crown he's wearing "You fought with such dread now lower your head I crown you Shee an Gannon.
