"Oh please come outs from hidin', Br'er Frodo" Br'er Sauron sez, sezze.

But Mr. Frodo, he don't say nuthin' an' de Gollum-critter, he lay low.

"Ise likes ta gives ya riches" Br'er Sauron sez.

But Mr. Frodo, he don't say nuthin' an' de Gollum-critter, he lay low.

"Ise gwine ta gives ya power!" Br'er Sauron sez.

But Mr. Frodo, he don't say nuthin' an' de Gollum-critter, he lay low.

At last, Br'er Sauron leaves and Gollum, he sez "Mis' Frodo, AH wants dat ring!"

An' they tussled an' dey struggled 'till de Gollum-critter he be a danglin' over de Crack o' Doom, neither up here, nor down dere a twixt an' a tween.

"Take mah hand!" Sez Mr. Frodo.

But de Gollum-critter, bein' de most greedy and mean o' critters bites de hand dat reaches down to rescue him, a choppin' off de ring AND de finger o' Mr. Frodo. And down go de Gollum-critter, an' down go de ring and down go de finger too, a splashin' into de red-hot lava!

An' Mr. Frodo, he don't say nuthin', and de eagles, a-come to git him, dey fly low.
