Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red Who came riding to Whiterun from old 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!"
Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red Who came riding to Whiterun from old Rorikstead And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade As he told of bold battles and gold he had made
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!
