A Ranger walked alone in the woods
Alone in the twilight so shady
The Ranger, as he sang in the green wood won
The heart of an Elven lady.

Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
The Ranger, as he sang in the green wood won
The heart of an Elven lady.

She told her father “I‘ve chosen to wed,
And give up the life of the Eldar
I’ll turn from the twilight and take instead
A mortal life with my Ranger”

Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
The Ranger, as he sang in the green wood won
The heart of an Elven lady.

Her father said “no Man less than the King
Of both Arnor and Gondor
Can aspire to so lofty a thing
As to marry my daughter!”

Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
The Ranger, as he sang in the green wood won
The heart of an Elven lady.

At last he came to his Kingdom fine
He sat on the Throne of Gondor
And there was music and there was wine
For Evenstar and her Ranger.

Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
The Ranger, as he sang in the green wood won
The heart of an Elven lady.

“He’s no mere Ranger, my father", she said
“But King of both Arnor and Gondor
And here I'll stay 'til his dying day
Beside my King, my Ranger!”

Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
The Ranger, as he sang in the green wood won
The heart of an Elven lady.

Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
The Ranger, as he sang in the green wood won
The heart of an Elven lady.
