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!'
