The fighters sat on a mountain high
Greeted each other one dark night
Now's the time to get a wife
My, he fought like no one

"Oh, I know of a wife
But trying her will cost your life."
"Crony, will you be my guide?"
My, he fought like no one

When they arrived at her gate
They found a solid iron fence
There were heads shoved upon each stake
My, he fought like no one

Grimborg pulled the locks away
Just as softly as he could
"Gentle maiden, come my way"
My, he fought like no one

He took the maiden and they disappeared
Home to the house of his mother
Had he known who the maiden really was
Day became night, and night became dawn
And then courtiers encumbered the lawn
Grimborg rode to the king
Where are the men I sent to you
All those courtiers, they're all through
My' he fought like no one

Grimborg steered his horse around
The courtiers all fell to the ground
They knew where his sword was bound
My, he fought like no one

We ask you kindly to put down your sword
Our daughter is yours now
She will obey and you will be her lord
Grimborg departed, the maiden on his knees
And they both settled down in peace
