Ivanhoe Ivanhoe
Side by side we’re proud to ride with Ivanhoe
At his call we spring to help him ride along
The song we sing is free and joyous song
Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe
Far and wide throughout the countryside they know
There’s freedom on his banner
Justice in his sword
He rides against the manor
Where tyranny is lord
Rich and poor
Together we go
Forward with Ivanhoe
With I-van-hoe
my lords aldermen good people
i bid you all welcome to witness a miracle
to see the sword celebrated in song and legend
excalibur the magic sword of the great king arthur
where'd you find it in amir's nest . some who judge me
then hear the word of a scholar the good prior of Ashford
good prior have you seen this sword ? and what do you say
only fragments of the legend exist in the chronicles . well?
but mark for mark gem for gem this is the same as excalibur
king arthur's own sword
when king arthur died 500 years ago
he commanded the knights of his knights to throw the magic sword into the lake
there it has lane throughout the centuries until now
and now in my lake that sword has reappeared
it was floating in the water its brightness was dazzling
it came towards my hand as i knelt so..
it may seem the same as excalibur is it a match for my blade ?.
judge for yourself sir morton
look
look on a power far greater than you possess
comes sir Morton do you wish to taste its power
so
do you yeld . i yeld
my lord ??? it is sword of Arthur it is excalibur
???
the sword of a great king it will be a kings again
on all saints day prince john will visit baron Murray
and this this magic sword will be presented to him
he said this sword will be a kings again
unless you kill this legend it could put prince John on the throne
a magic sword ? king Arthurs sword Excalibur no less
but the magic sword is nonsense . of course it's nonsense
but i saw him plead sir Morton sword clean to the hilt
and i left the whole castle cheering him
think what that could mean when word of it spreads among the people
yes they could believe it . what can we do?
well in 10 days time further the whole shire gathers at our friend baron Morris castle .
for the archery contest
well they're already angry about the new head text prince John is levitt
one gold ring or it's equal in marks to be played by every free man in the kingdom
we must spread word among them the sword is a forgery . but will they believe it?
look sir Ivanhoe i know sword making i was a smith magic or not
it hasn't been lying in any lake for 500 years
do you think you'll find out where it was made
well i've heard it rumored that a smith called bertram of leeds has found a new process for tempering metal
he's the finest sword maker in the country and if he has perfected his new secret
then he could make such a sword as this
we must spare a visit to Bertram of leeds
and then when prince John comes to visit baron Morris at his castle
we might be able to prove that the sword is counterfeit
??? anyone home
not like a smith to let this fire cold
are you bedroom the smith
i said . he was my father now he's dead
now you say your father was poisoned how
i don't know messenger came and summoned my father to some lord's castle . oh which castle?
my father wouldn't say he'd sworn to hold his tongue
still he didn't trust his word . why who are they . i don't know
yesterday the foresters found my father on the road home
dying
they brought him here he didn't know me
he just kept saying poison and the sword
then he died
well could anyone else know of this sword
i know of one man my father made over this work
who is he ? herbert the goldsmith he said the jewels for many of my father's swords
our apprentice has gone to tell him
Herbert the goldsmith
i can scarcely believe it bedroom dead poisoned
from the beginning i didn't like this business .
messengers coming at night with orders to buy jewels
seven emeralds rubies diamonds thirteen pearls perfectly matched all with secrecy
and now Bertram murdered . what does it all mean ?
i shall rest only when i found out Arthur my sword
i'm a peaceful man but so is Beltram
and peaceful men must look after their own
all for a sword . what will you do ?. first fetch lawrence
and tell the town of his father's murder then find out who did it . come lad my dear
certainly be a job at Rotherwood for him with it sir . of course thank you
there was no secret we didn't share except this last one
did your father teach a sword making
some he taught me his new way of tempering of the steel .
