Songs Of The Seven Kingdoms

[WhiteStumbler]

1) edit: The Rains of Castamere (aka The Lannister Song) ('And now the rains sweep o'er their hall with not a soul to hear')
2) Bear & Maiden Fair (sung by Locke's group after Jaime's hand is chopped off)
3) Creepy song that Shireen sings about the birds having scales and the fish taking wing
4) The last song that the bard sings -- ('the boars great tusks, they boded ill, for good king Robert's health') before "King" Joff asks him if he prefers his hands or his tongue.
5) During the attack on Kings Landing, Sansa leads the other women in the room with Drunk! Cersei in a hymn -- 'Gentle mother, font of mercy, save us all from war we pray' or something like that.

6) 'The Father's face is stern and strong' (Sam sings this to Gilly and her baby after they all have escaped Crasters)

 

Am I missing any?

For real?  You can't have forgotten The Rains of KILLING ALL THE STARKS? Dude.  I hardly know thee any longer! 

 

Rains of (sob) Castamere.

Forgotten?!? Perish the thought, dear Shimp. See #1. ;-)

[stillshimpy]

Thank goodness, I wondered if you had sustained a blow to the head.  Or I had.  Or possibly, we'd both had too much grog and fallen down. 

 

Number 1 has a title though, WhiteStumbler.  It's called the Rains of Castamere, which we know because Cersei told Marg when Margaery (however it is spelled in the show) "radiant" ....and Cersei took a wee bit of offense and explained about the freaking rains of Catamere.  So it's not the Lannister Song.  It's The Rains of Castamere.  

 

Hopefully Maereareoodleipicusinny (seriously, how the hell do they spell Marjorie in the Kingdoms again?)  sat behind Cersei and hummed it during Tywin's funeral.

Maereareoodleipicusinny loves The Rains of Castamere -- she was looking all emo and misty while a very dirge-y version was played at her and Joffs' wedding.

Coming from "The Gift" thread to add the song Bronn sang which I think is called The Dornishman's Blade or possibly The Dornishman's Wife. 

 

It sure beats the Rains/Raynes of Castamere for both tune and story. 

 

ETA:

 

Just looked at the list again. I kind of forgot #6 until I read it. It's probably a religious lullaby, right?

The Dornishman's wife was as fair as the sun
And her kisses were warmer than spring
The Dornishman's blade
It was made of black steel
And its kiss was a terrible thing
The Dornishman's wife would sing as she bathed
In a voice that was sweet as a peach...

(Jaime rudely interrupts)

 

(Bronn continues in prison)

Brothers, O brothers, my days here are done
The Dornishman's taken my life
But what does it matter
For all men must die
And I've tasted the Dornishman's wife, I have,
I've tasted the Dornishman's wife.

[WhiteStumbler]

New one...

He rode through the streets of the city
Down from his hill on high
O'er the winds and the steps and the cobbles
He rode to a woman's sigh
For she was his secret treasure
She was his shame and his bliss
And a chain and a keep are nothing
Compared to a woman's kiss
CHORUS: For hands of gold are always cold
But a woman's hands are warm
For hands of gold are always cold
But a woman's hands are...

(incomplete - Arya rode into their camp)

"Hands of gold are always cold" - a veiled dig at Jaime's golden hand?

After re-reading it a couple of times (thanks for posting it Stumbler) the whole song seems to be a veiled reference to Jaime:
