Verse 2:

Up the tower steps he sneaked
But as he moved his rusty armour squeaked
Such a mournful note

And all the sentries at their post
Thought it must have been the castle ghost
They jumped for their lives
In the moat

So the knight in rusty armour won
His fair maid
Had no need to draw his trusty sword
With a rusty blade
