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.
