He who passed over the mountains | C |
And did not want to serve on the plain | G |
Is he the one when war was returned | D |
Who's now bragging | E |
Since he vacillates so much now | H |
Let him be damned | D |

He who doled out his money | I |
Without attracting any good knights | C |
Is it because he wasn't first in the fight | D |
That he's bragging now | H |
Since he came at us with his rear | J |
Let him be damned | D |

He who raised a great soldiery | J |
But never quite a good cavalry | J |
Since he didn't go to Granada is he | J |
The one who's bragging | E |
Whether he's rich or has a strong band | D |
Let him be damned | D |

He who loaded up his bags | C |
With a little gold and a lot of guff | K |

Since he's more like fat than butter | J |
Let him be damned | D |
