Lord Riggle's
Travelling
Song
I was in my carriage just
travelling,
Down, down, down, the long, long road,
'Til a wheel shattered, then I was riding,
Down, down, down, the long, long road,
'Til the horse went lame, then I was walking,
Down, down, down, the long, long road,
'Til I tripped on a stone, then I was crawling,
Down, down, down, the long, long road,
'Til I was dust-choked and dying, then I was lying,
Down, down down, on the long long road.
Written after his death by
the Royal Bard Anderiferis, Lord Riggle's Travelling Song was an
account of the unloved Lord's death as he journeyed to the capitol.
Sung at the festivities after his funeral, away from the ears of his
grieving widow, the song was an instant hit and sung by most noble
travellers to pass the time on the road or at hunt.
