The Ranger
(Sung to Kenny Rodgers' The Gambler)
Sung by Frodo.


On a cold winter evening
As we sailed down Anduin
I sat up with a Ranger
We were both to wary to sleep
So we took turns staring
Through the trees into the darkness
Till boredom overtook us
And he began to speak

He said, 'Son, I've made a life
Out of wandering through the wild
And knowing where the paths were
And places I could hide
So if you don't mind my saying
I can see that you're exiled
If you will take me with you
I'll give you some advice'

So I took him for his offer
And I told him what my plans were
Then he took his pipe
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
He said, 'If you're going to take the Ring boy
You'll need to leave your friends one night.'

You've got to know when to keep them
Know when to leave them
Know when to stay with them
Know when to run
Don't you end your journey
Till you've thrown It in the Fire
There'll be time then for reunions
When your journey's done.

Every Ranger knows
That the secret to surviving
Is knowing when to run away
Knowing when to fight
Cause every man's a winner
Or every man's a loser
And it really all depends on
The company you keep

And when he'd finished speaking
He turned back towards the fire
Put away his smoking pipe
As I faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The Ranger's words sank deeply
And in those final words
I knew I away must creep

You've got to know when to keep them
Know when to leave them
Know when to stay with them
Know when to run
Don't you end your journey
Till you've thrown It in the Fire
There'll be time then for reunions
When your journey's done.
