Ramones Ramones January 1978 Interview song lyrics

Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red

Who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead

And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade

As he told of bold battles and gold he had made

But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red

When he met the shield-maiden Matilda, who said:

"Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead

Now I think it's high time that you lie down and bleed!"

And so then came clashing and slashing of steel

As the brave lass Matilda charged in, full of zeal

And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more-

When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!
