Harrenhal

Song: "This Ole House", by Rosemary Clooney


This old castle knew his children, this old castle knew his wife

This old castle once was comfort, as it fought the storms of life

This old castle rang with laughter, as the bannermen would shout

Now it trembles in the darkness when the lightning walks about


We don't need this castle anymore

Milady, this castle's gonna fall

There'e no gold to fix the towers

There's no gold to fix the wall

There's no time to haul the timber

And our income is at odds

We don't need this castle anymore

It's getting ready to meet the gods


This old castle's getting shaky, this old castle's getting old

This old castle lets in rain, this old castle lets in cold

On it's knees we're getting chilly, but it feels no fear or pain

Cause it sees the stranger peeking from a shattered windowpane


We don't need this castle anymore

Milady, this castle's gonna fall

There'e no gold to fix the towers

There's no gold to fix the wall

There's no time to haul the timber

And our income is at odds

We don't need this castle anymore

It's getting ready to meet the gods


This old castle's afraid of thunder, this old castle's afraind of storms

This old castle groans and trembles, when the night wind flings it's arms

This old castle's getting feeble, this old castle's needing rods

Just like me it started dying, but we're ready to meet the gods


We don't need this castle anymore

Milady, this castle's gonna fall

There'e no gold to fix the towers

There's no gold to fix the wall

There's no time to haul the timber

And our income is at odds

We don't need this castle anymore

It's getting ready to meet the gods


This old castle's dog is sleeping, doesn't know I'm gonna leave

Else he'd wake up by the fireplace, and right there he'll howl and grieve

But my hunting days are over, and I'll just accept my fate

The Stranger brought my charriot when the wind blew down the gate.


We don't need this castle anymore

Milady, this castle's gonna fall

There'e no gold to fix the towers

There's no gold to fix the wall

There's no time to haul the timber

And our income is at odds

We don't need this castle anymore

It's getting ready to meet the gods


READY TO MEET THE GODS
