Greybeard Halt

Lyrics and Chords:
(Verse 1)
Greybeard Halt is a friend of mine
He lives on redmonts hill
Greybeard Halt never took a bath
And they say He never will!
Greybeard Halt, he lost a bet
He lost his winter cloak
When winter comes, Halt stays warm
By sleeping 'mongst the goats.
(Chorus)
Fare thee well, Greybeard Halt
Fare thee well, I say
Fare thee well, Greybeard Halt
I'll see you on your way.
(Verse 2)
Greybeard Halt, he lives with goats
That's what I’ve heard tell
He hasn’t changed his socks for years
But the goats don't mind the smell!
Greybeard Halt is a fighting man
I’ve heard common talk
That Greybeard Halt, he cuts his hair
With his saxe knife and fork!
(Chorus)
Fare thee well, Greybeard Halt
Fare thee well, I say
Fare thee well, Greybeard Halt
I’ll see you on your way
(Bridge)
But despite his goats and his hairy hide
Greybeard Halt’s an old friend of mine
Greybeard Halt will always be by my side
But for now…
(Chorus)
Fare thee well, Greybeard Halt
Fare thee well, I say
Fare thee well, Greybeard Halt
I'll see you on your way
I'll see you on your way
I'll see you on your way.

My head canon is that Will played this at the gathering when Halt retired

[@striderpup1169]

I think he would end up with an arrow-sized hole in his mandolin.

[@snowtiger503]

yes

[@zarlsalamandersspacemarine302]

Oh 100%

[@MxCAT7]

And of course spent that night in a tree, as tradition dictates

[@hellolindabonney]

Yup

[@miaprosdocimo9460]

Will: *Singing this*
Halt: -_-
Gilan and Crowley: XD
Halt: Thats enough

[@aseretbrown]

My head canon :
Will, Horace, Halt, Crowley and Gilan are on their way to the gathering. Horace get bored and begins to whistle this tune. The rest soon join in, everyone but Halt. Half way through, Will and Horace stop singing because their laughing to hard. Halt shrugs and joins in. By the time the get to the gathering, their all laughing and have smiles on their faces.

[@Ranger_Will_Treaty]

Horace wouldn't be with us. And Crowley would already be there, but otherwise yep! Remember, Horace isn't a ranger!

[@abbeywilliams925]

@@Ranger_Will_Treaty And Halt wouldn't be laughing. Smiling yes, laughing no

[@haltflexeiroprofissionalim4592]

that's the exact way I imagine Will singing this song

[@kennethstanley6339]

I dont think he will shout sax knife in the cracking voice tho.

[@JohnGisMe]

But with a lute instead of a guitar.

the rangers are too good now all together : fare thee well greybeard halt fare thee well i say

[@zgamer200]

Great job on this. I've been rereading the Ranger's Apprentice series recently and just got to book 5 where Greybeard Halt is first mentioned and this definitely works a lot better than the tune I sang it to in my head. Also, if Will didn't sing this at the gathering when Halt retired while holding back tears I'll be very disappointed.

[@Ranger_Will_Treaty]

I did, don't worry. Halt chased me up a tree again. You should've seen the rest of the Corp's reaction!

[@albinappelberg1637]

Realy good song 🙃😎😃

[@peggy7536]
