Knight my Squire

(by Lord Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998)
(Tune: "Light my Fire" by the Doors)

    You know that its long over due.
    He's mastered every form you could desire.
    His chivalry is beyond reproach.
    He no longer should remain a squire.

    Chorus:
    Come on Sire, Knight my squire,
    Come on Sire, Knight my squire,
    It's time his red belt should be retired.

    It's true that he was once a rake.
    He'd booze and schmooze around the fires,
    But it's been three years since his big mistake,
    When he gave into a Queen's Desires.

    Chorus:

    Its time to overlook the past.
    How many years will he have to pay
    For stupid things he has forsworn?
    He's now a model of how we all should play.

    Chorus:

    I know the old king was your friend,
    But think hard and you know it's true
    That my squire didn't do anything,
    Except what the old queen asked him too.

    Chorus:


History. The Story Behind this Song

 Heard the song on the radio, and the title just poped up. I also met a Squire recently who just came from another kingdom. After watching him fight and how he comported himself off the field, I surprised he was still a squire. As the story came out, he mentioned that in his earlier days he was quite a rake, and those earlier years are still being held against him. I took a little poetic license and invented an incident with a queen.
