What if "The Lord of the Rings" had been written as Danny Boy

"Sammy Boy" (an incredibly poignant song sung by Frodo on his last legs before reaching Mount Doom)

by mocroidh

Oh, Sammy Boy, the ring, the ring is calling,
From Barad-Dur and down the mountainside.
My strength is gone, and I fear I am dying.
The Eye will see, and therefore I must hide.

Will we get back where summer's in the meadow?
Back to the Shire? Somehow I don't think so!
But you'll be there, in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh Sammy Boy, oh Sammy Boy, I love you so...
