"Deep in the Meadow"
"Deep in the Meadow" (also known equally "Rue'southward Lullaby") is a song sung by Katniss to Rue as the latter was nearing death (Marvel had speared her in the stomach). Because of her love of music, Rue'due south last request was to hear Katniss sing. At first, Katniss did non know what to sing, but then remembered a lullaby she would sing to her sister Prim when she was sick. The words are like shooting fish in a barrel, soothing, and calming.
Katniss likewise found herself musing on the words of this song many years later as she watched her own children play in the Meadow in District 12.
Lucy Gray Baird sings this song to Maude Ivory, having sung information technology to her in the past when she had croup. Coriolanus Snow too listens to the song and finds information technology soothing, until mockingjays pick up the melody, every bit he finds them agonizing.[1]
Lyrics
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft dark-green pillow
Lay down your caput, and shut your sleepy eyes
And when once more they open, the sunday will rise.
Here it'due south safe, here it'southward warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sugariness and tomorrow brings them true
Hither is the place where I dearest you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far abroad
A cloak of leaves, A moonbeam ray,
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when once more information technology's forenoon, they'll wash away.
Hither it's condom, here information technology's warm
Here the daisies guard you lot from every harm
Here your dreams are sugariness and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love y'all.

"The Hanging Tree"
"The Hanging Tree" was a song taught to Katniss by her begetter when she was young. Mrs. Everdeen heard Katniss singing the song one day and saw her and Prim making necklaces of rope, like those mentioned in the song'south lyrics. Although the sisters did not understand the true meaning of the song, Mrs. Everdeen became fearful and yelled at Mr. Everdeen, which acquired Katniss to come across the Meadow and cry under a tree. After finding her, Mr. Everdeen told Katniss to forget the vocal, only Katniss ended upward remembering every word of it. After Mr. Everdeen's death, the song played itself over and over in Katniss' head.
Katniss eventually understood that the person singing the vocal was a dead man calling for his lover to come join him in death. The thought at first seemed disturbing to her, simply when she concluded up spontaneously performing the song for a District 13 propaganda film, she remembered how after her rescue from the Arena of the 75th Hunger Games, she was most to kill Peeta with a syringe to keep him safe from the Capitol; a life of torture is a far worse fate than death.
Katniss besides sang this song to Pollux later on she plays with the mockingjays, which brought him to tears. This vocal is mentioned many times throughout Mockingjay. An official version has been recorded for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Office i.
In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Role i, Plutarch Heavensbee claims he changed the words "necklace of rope" to "necklace of hope" in the recording for the Capitol.
"The Hanging Tree" has a cursory backstory in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes at the execution of Arlo Adventure. The song also ane of many, composed by Lucy Gray Baird. Arlo Chance is said by the Peacekeepers to have been responsible for an explosion in the mines that killed three people, hence the reference in the song to "a human being they say murdered three." Lucy Gray, all the same, as well later uses the song to refer to Coriolanus Snowfall, who indirectly reveals to her that he himself killed three people - Bobbin, Mayfair Lipp, and Sejanus Plinth, the last being non direct merely through his treachery. The song was banned past Commander Hoff of the Peacekeepers, who considered it rebellious.[two] All the same, presently later on, Hoff was replaced by a new commander, who banned all musical performances at the Hob entirely, because music caused problem.[three]
Lyrics
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man, they say murdered three.
Strange things did happen hither, no stranger would it be,
If we met, upwards at midnight, in the hanging tree.
Are you lot, are yous, coming to the tree?
Where the dead man called out, for his dearest to flee.
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would information technology be,
If we met, up at midnight, in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run, and so we'd both be free.
Foreign things did happen here, no stranger would information technology be,
If nosotros met, up at midnight, in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be,
If nosotros met, up at midnight, in the hanging tree.

Lyrics
You tin can't accept my past.
You can't take my history.
You could take my pa,
Just his name'due south a mystery.
Nothing you tin can accept from me was ever worth keeping.
Yous tin't take my charm.
You can't take my sense of humour.
You can't have my wealth,
'Cause information technology'south just a rumor.
Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping.
Thinking you lot're so fine.
Thinking y'all can have mine.
Thinking you're in control.
Thinking you'll alter me, possibly rearrange me.
Think again, if that's your goal,
'Crusade...
You can't take my sass.
Yous tin can't take my talking.
Y'all tin can kiss my donkey
Then keep on walking.
Nothing you can take from me was always worth keeping.
No, sir,
Cipher you can have me from me is worth dirt.
Accept it, 'cause I'd give information technology free. It won't hurt.
Nothing you tin can take from me was ever worth keeping!

The title of the song is provided in these acknowledgements.[vi]
Lyrics
When I was a baby I savage down in the holler.
When I was a girl I fell into your arms.
We cruel on hard times and nosotros lost our bright color.
You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms.
I danced for my dinner, spread kisses similar honey.
You stole and you lot gambled and I said you should.
We sang for our suppers, nosotros drank up our coin.
Then one day you left, saying I was no skilful.
Well, all right, I'thousand bad, just so, you lot're no prize either.
All right, I'yard bad, simply then, that's aught new.
You say you won't dear me, I won't honey you neither.
Just permit me remind you who I am to y'all.
'Cause I am the one who looks out when you lot're leaping.
I am the one who knows how you were brave.
And I am the one who heard what you said sleeping.
I'll accept that and more than when I become to my grave.
It's sooner than later that I'one thousand six feet under.
Information technology's sooner than afterwards that you'll be solitary.
Then who will you lot turn to tomorrow, I wonder?
For when the bong rings, lover, yous're on your own.
And I am the ane who you let see you weeping.
I know the soul that you struggle to save.
Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the reaping.
At present what will yous do when I go to my grave?
"The Old Therebefore"
This was another vocal performed past Lucy Gray Baird. She sang it after Dr. Volumnia Gaul loosed snake muttations into the Capitol Loonshit. The snakes were completely mesmerized by it and subsequently completing it, Lucy Gray began a soft bustling to proceed them docile.[7]
Lyrics
(La, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la. . .)
Yous're headed for heaven,
The sweet old time to come,
And I've got one foot in the door.
Simply before I tin can wing up,
I've loose ends to tie up,
Correct here in The old therebefore.
I'll be forth
When I've finished my vocal,
When I've shut down the band,
When I've played out my mitt,
When I've paid all my debts,
When I have no regrets,
Correct here in
The old therebefore,
When nil
Is left anymore.
I'll catch you up
When I've emptied my cup,
When I've worn out my friends,
When I've burned out both ends,
When I've cried all my tears,
When I've conquered my fears,
Right here in
The sometime therebefore,
When nothing
Is left anymore.
I'll bring the news
When I've danced off my shoes,
When my body'south closed downward,
When my gunkhole's run ashore,
When I've tallied the score,
And I'm flat on the floor,
Correct here in
The one-time therebefore,
When goose egg
Is left anymore
When I'1000 pure like a dove,
When I've learned how to love,
Correct hither in
The old therebefore,
When naught
Is left anymore.
"That Affair I Beloved With"
This vocal is performed past Lucy Gray Baird and the Covey at the Hob. Information technology is the offset song that she performs upon her return to District 12 after winning the 10th Hunger Games and the first song that Coriolanus Snow hears her perform in District 12. It has a bright and upbeat musical accompaniment.
Lyrics
My centre's stupid and that's not maybe.
Can't blame Cupid, he'due south just a babe.
Shoot it, boot it, execute it,
Still comes a-crawling to you-hoo.
Center's gone funny, it won't hear reason.
You're similar honey, you bring the bees in.
Sting it, wing information technology, give it a fling, it
Notwithstanding comes a-crawling to y'all.
I wish information technology mattered that
Yous chose to nail information technology upward.
How come up y'all shattered that
Thing I love with?
Did yous feel flattered that
Y'all could but trash it up?
That'south why you battered that
Affair I love with.
Trapped my ticker but haven't freed it.
People snicker at how you treat it.
Snare it, tear it, strip it bare, it
Yet comes a-crawling to you-hoo.
Eye's been jumping only like a rabbit.
Claret keeps pumping simply that's just habit.
Drain information technology, pain it, I'm insane, information technology
Still comes a-crawling to you.
Burn down it, spurn it, don't return it,
Intermission it, broil it, overtake it,
Wreck information technology, deck information technology, what the heck, it
Still comes a-crawling to you.
"Lucy Greyness"
This was the song from which Lucy Grey Baird got her name. Maude Ivory performed information technology for Snow during a solar day trip to the lake in the wilderness, a couple of hours from District 12. The vocal was nearly a girl who was sent out into a snowstorm and manifestly concluded up condign a ghost girl. Snow disliked the song, as he both did not understand it entirely and thought it ridiculous.[eight]
"Lucy Gray" is actually originally a poem written by William Wordsworth in 1799. The poem, due to its age, is in the public domain. The lyrics featured in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes are slightly tweaked past author Suzanne Collins to fit the Covey.[vi]
Lyrics
Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray:
And, when I crossed the wild,
I chanced to see at break of day
The lone child.
No mate, no comrade Lucy knew;
She dwelt where none bide
mdash;The sweetest matter that ever grew
Upon the mountainside!
You yet may spy the fawn at play
The hare among the light-green;
But the sweet face up of Lucy Grey
Volition never more be seen.
"To-night will exist a stormy night—
You to the town must go;
And take a lantern, Child, to light
Your female parent through the snow."
"That, Father! Will I gladly do:
'Tis scarcely afternoon —
The village clock has just struck two,
And yonder is the moon!"
At this the Father turned his claw,
To kindling for the day'
He plied his work; — and Lucy took
The lantern on her mode.
As carefree as a mountain doe:
A fresh, new path she broke
Her feet dispersed the powdery snowfall,
That rose up just like smoke.
The storm came on before its time"
She wandered up and downwards;
And many a hill did Lucy climb:
Only never reached the town.
The wretched parents all that night
Went shouting far and wide;
Simply in that location was neither sound nor sight
To serve them equally a guide.
At daybreak on a hill they stood
That overlooked the scene;
And thence they saw the bridge of wood,
That spanned a deep ravine.
They wept &mdash and, turning homeward, cried,
"In Sky we all shall meet!";
— When in the snowfall the female parent spied
The impress of Lucy'south anxiety.
And so downwardly from the steep colina's edge
They tracked the footmarks small;
And through the broken hawthorn hedge,
And by the long stone-wall;
And then an open field they crossed:
The marks were notwithstanding the same;
They tracked them on, not ever lost;
And to the bridge they came.
They followed from the snowy bank
Those footmarks, one past one,
Into the middle of the plank;
And farther there were none!
— Yet some maintain that to this day
She is a living child;
That you may come across sweetness Lucy Gray
Upon the lonesome wild.
O'er rough and smooth she trips along,
And never looks behind;
And sings a solitary song
That whistles in the wind.
"I'll Sell You For a Song"
Lucy Gray Baird and the Covey perform this vocal, the vocal itself sung by Lucy Gray Baird. Information technology is described equally a downbeat number with a "mournful" musical accompaniment. Coriolanus Snow disliked information technology, as he thought that it might exist inspired by Lucy's spurned lover, Billy Taupe.
Lyrics
You lot come up home late,
Fall on your cot.
You smell similar something that coin bought.
We don't have greenbacks, or so you say.
So where did you lot get it and how'd you pay?
The lord's day don't rise and set for yous.
Y'all call up so, but you're wrong.
You tell me lies, I can't stay true—
I'll sell yous for a song.
You lot get up late,
Won't say a discussion.
You been with her, that'due south what I've heard.
I don't own yous, so I've been told..
Only what do I do when the nights go cold?
The moon don't wax and wane for you.
Y'all think so, just yous're incorrect.
Y'all cause me hurting, you make me bluish—
I'll sell y'all for a song.
You're here, you're not.
It's more than me,
Information technology's more you, it'due south more like we.
They're young and soft, they worry then.
You coming or going, they need to know.
The stars don't shine and shoot for y'all.
You recollect so, only y'all're wrong..
You mess with mine, I'll injure yous, too—
I'll sell you for a song.
"Pure as the Driven Snow"
This was another song by Lucy Grayness Baird. Coriolanus Snow believed she had written information technology for him.
Lyrics
Everyone'southward built-in every bit make clean as a whistle—
Equally fresh as a daisy
And not a scrap crazy.
Staying that way'southward a hard row for hoeing—
Equally rough every bit a briar,
Like walking through fire.
This world, it'south nighttime,
And this world, it'due south scary.
I've taken some hits, so
No wonder I'm wary.
It's why I
Need you—
You lot're pure equally the driven snow.
Everyone wants to exist a hero—
The block with the cream, or
The doer not dreamer.
Doing's hard piece of work, Information technology takes some to modify things—
Like goat's milk to butter,
Similar ice blocks to water.
This world goes bullheaded
When children are dying.
I turn to dust, simply
You never finish trying.
It'southward why I
Love you—
You lot're pure as the driven snow.
Cold and clean,
Swirling over my skin,
You cloak me.
Y'all soak right in,
Down to my centre.
Anybody thinks they know all about me.
They slap me with labels.
They spit out their fables.
Yous came along, yous knew it was lying.
You lot saw the platonic me,
And yes, that's the existent me.
This world, it'south brutal,
With troubles aplenty.
You asked for a reason—
I've got three and twenty
For why I
Trust you lot—
You're pure as the driven snow.
That'south why I
Trust you—
You're pure every bit the driven snowfall.
"The Valley Song"
Mentioned by Peeta while he and Katniss are taking refuge in the cave. He says how he remembers Katniss singing this song at school when they were children. The Valley Vocal may be the same vocal that Lucy Grayness Baird sang in the monkey muzzle at the Capitol and later to Snow in District 12. If then, then the vocal is a slightly modified version of "Down in the Valley," a traditional American folk song.
It was described that Lucy sounded so sad and lost as she sang information technology. (Pg 69 & 70)
Lyrics
Down in the valley, valley and then low,
Late in the evening, hear the railroad train blow.
The Train, beloved, hear the train accident.
Late in the evening, hear the railroad train accident.
Go build me a mansion, build it so high,
So I tin can see my truthful honey go by.
See him go by, beloved, see him go by.
So I can see my true love go by.
Go write a letter, send information technology by mail.
Bake it and stamp it to the Captiol jail.
Capital jail, love, to the Capitol jail.
Bake it and stamp information technology to the Captiol jail.
Roses are red, love; violets are blue.
BIrds in the heavens know I dear you.
Know I dear you, oh, know I love you,
Birds in the heavens know I love you.
Mentioned songs
"Anthem"
The national song of Panem, it oft accompanies Capitol propaganda media and is played at the end of each twenty-four hour period in the Hunger Games Loonshit.
"Rue'southward Four Annotation Song"
This simple melody was developed by Rue as a signal to the District 11 agricultural workers that the working day had ended. She whistled the melody to a group of mockingjays, who and then carried it across the fields and orchards. Rue and Katniss later used this melody to signal each in the arena.
"Mouse song"
In the loonshit of the 75th Hunger Games, Wiress sang a children's song about a mouse and a clock. The Catching Fire film interpreted this as the archetype folk song "Hickory Dickory Dock".
