Woody Guthrie

by petcat

This land is Mordor, this land is Sauron's
from the Ephel Duath, to the gate of Morannon
from Minas Morgul, to the Nurnen Waters
This ring was made for only he

As I went walking, to Mount Oroduin
I saw below me the cracks of Doo-oom
I saw above me the Eye of Sauron
This ring was made for only he

I'd roamed and rambled and I followed Mithrandir
But he fell with the Balrog
and I'm stuck with Sam here
Was stabbed by a Nazgul, a servant of Sauron,
This ring was made for only he

When I stood at the fissure, In weakness I lingered,
in a struggle with Gollum, he bit off my finger
But he fell in the fire then, and the quest was ended
Now Middle Earth will forever be free

This land is your land this land is my land
from Far Harad, to the peaceful Shireland
from the towers of the Mighty to the Hill in Hobbiton
Middle Earth will forever be free
