The Dubbing (Knight of the Woeful Countenance) Lyrics by Ray Middleton

Man of La Mancha

0

[INNKEEPER]
Don Quixote de La Mancha
(spoken)
Having proved yourself this day
In glorious and terrible combat
And, uh, by my authority as lord of this castle
(sung)
I hereby dub thee knight!
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
But, your Lordship!
[INNKEEPER, spoken]
Didn't I do it right?
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
Well it is customary to grant the new knight an added name. 
[INNKEEPER, spoken]
Hmmm. 
(sung)
Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Knight of the Woeful Countenance!
Wherever you go
People will know
Of the glorious deeds
Of the Knight of the Woe-
Ful Countenance!
Farewell and good cheer
Oh my brave cavalier
Fight onward in glorious strife
I swear when you're gone
I'll remember you well
For all of the rest of my life!
Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Knight of the Woeful Countenance!
Wherever you go
Face to the foe
They will quail at the sight
Of the Knight of the Woe-
Ful Countenance
Oh valorous knight
Go and fight for the right
And battle all villains that be
But oh, when you do
What will happen to you
Thank God I won't be there to see!
[INNKEEPER, ALDONZA & SANCHO]
Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Knight of the Woeful Countenance!
Wherever you go
People will know
Of the glorious deeds
Of the Knight of the Woe-
Ful Countenance!
