The House of Green Songtext
von The Pinkerton Raid

The House of Green was granted land
In the reign of George the Sixth
Hence four-score years the Greens had grown
To threaten good Duchess Lynn
The Duchess called her mighty men
To stall the Green′s advance
They drew their swords and marched in strength
Through Greens' unguarded lands

They cut out the heart of the House of Green
They left but a shell of the House of Green
They cut out the heart of the House of Green
There′s naught but a shell of the House of Green


The Greens survived on conquered land, the Duchess on her throne
The more they grow, the more she cuts, their land no more their own

She cut out the heart of the House of Green
She left but a shell of the House of Green
She cut out the heart of the House of Green
There's naught but a shell of the House of Green

The air was clean in the lands of green
The Duchess mars the sky
The air was clean in the lands of green
The air was yours and mine

They cut out the heart of the House of Green
They left but a shell of the House of Green
They cut out the heart of the House of Green
There's naught but a shell of the House of Green
