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 over 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

"Where can it be this land of Eldorado?"

Over the Mountains of the Moon
Down the Valley of the Shadow
Ride, boldly ride
If you seek for Eldorado

But he grew old
This knight so bold
And over his heart a shadow fell
as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado
