Herman's Hermits：Meaning of The George And Dragon Songmeaning

The song tells the story of a man who meets a woman at an inn called The George and Dragon. He is smitten by her and asks her to stay with him, but she makes an analogy about how a knight of the old round table can only be lacking a square. The man hopes that a square could rescue him and win the maiden's heart, but he stands with a heavy heart. The lyrics suggest the man would be willing to die to win her love. The song is a romantic story set in a medieval-like world where chivalry and courtly love prevail.
