House Of Cards
Oh, the rain is falling Blow, blow, down
And the whirlwind rolls Blow, blow, down
I′ll shake your windows Blow, blow, down
And rattle your door Blow, blow, down

Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards

They're washing the streets Blow, blow, down
With the blood of your kind Blow, blow, down
Ah, look over your shoulder Blow, blow, down
They′re right behind Blow, blow, down


Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards

The birds are wheeling Blow, blow, down
Up above your head Blow, blow, down
All your days are numbered Blow, blow, down
You're as good as dead Blow, blow, down

Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards

This very fine house Blow, blow, down
Of great renown Blow, blow, down
It's cracked and shaky Blow, blow, down
And a-tumbling down Blow, blow, down

Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
