El Dorado Lyrics

Gaily bedight
A gallant knight
In sunshine and in shadow
Had journeyed long
Singing a song
In search of Eldorado

But he grew old—
This knight so bold—
And o’er his heart a shadow—
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado

And, as his strength
Failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow—
‘Shadow,’ said he
‘Where can it be—
This land of Eldorado?’

‘Over the Mountains
Of the Moon
Down the Valley of the Shadow
Ride, boldly ride,’
The shade replied,—
‘If you seek for Eldorado!’

‘Over the Mountains
Of the Moon
Down the Valley of the Shadow
Ride, boldly ride,’
The shade replied,—
‘If you seek for Eldorado!’
