[Verse 1]
Pack me a rope, Ma, pack it so tight
I'm goin' huntin', gone at first light
Pack me a longbow, Ma, pack it for me
I'm gonna track down a dragon, you'll see

[Verse 2]
Farewell, my washin' up, farewell, my hearth
Don't care for comforts, a roof, nor a bath
Knee-deep in muck, oh, Ma, see, I don't mind
I'll follow his scent, Ma, I could do this blind

[Chorus]
Do not tell father, do not tell the church
I'll be a rider, you heard it here first
I know you don't trust me, you think I'm insane
Just promise you'll write "The Bold" next to my name

[Verse 3]
It's been seven months, Ma, I think I am close
I just found this cave, Ma, I don't mean to boast
I've lost a few pounds, Ma, I promise I'm fine
See, I cannot return 'til that dragon is mine

[Verse 4]
So many bones, Ma, should I light my torch?
Wish I was dancin' with you on the porch
'Cause thеre he is, Ma, by Heavеns, he's huge
My body might fail me, but by Gods, I refuse
[Chorus]
Do not tell father, do not tell the church
I'll be a rider, you heard it here first
I know you don't trust me, you think I'm insane
Just promise you'll write "The Bold" next to my name

[Verse 5]
Unfurl the rope, Ma, the one that you packed
I feel you here with me, guardin' my back
The skin is like leather, I think I'm in love
He's spreading his wings out, as soft as a dove
I climb aboard him, my knees tucked in tight
Me and him, him and I, into the night

[Outro]
I'm comin' home, Ma, come out on the street
I'm bringin' back someone I'd like you to meet
