Return to Bag End

by i am smeagol

--sung by Frodo

Samwise Gamgee and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Gandalf the Grey
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I’ve wandered so far, now I’m stuck in this mire
And I can’t seem to find my way back to the Shire

So help me if you can, I’ve got to get
Back to the hole at Bag End before one
You’d be surprised there’s so much to be done
Eat all the meals in the day!
Sing with the boys at the pub!
Back to the days before great rings of power destroyed…

Peregrin Took doesn’t know what to do
Got a pipeweed leaf stuck in his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here on one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the ent called Treebeard
(They are old friends, so he’s not to be feared)

But help me if you can, I’ve got to get
Back to the hole at Bag End before one
You’d be surprised there’s so much to be done
Eat all the meals in the day!
Sing with the boys at the pub!
Back to the days before great rings of power destroyed…

[years and years later…]
Well, it’s hard to explain how a few precious friends
Seem to follow throughout all out lives
And when all’s said and done, I was watching Sam’s son
Sitting there by the mallorn so wide
So I smiled at him, hugged him, and as I was goin’
That small hobbit boy whispered “Frodo, you’re home!”

So help me if you can, I’ve finally come
Back to the hole at Bag End before one
You’d be surprised there’s so much to be done
Eat all the meals in the day!
Sing with the boys at the pub!
Back to the days before great rings of power,
Back to the days of hobbits and laughter,
Back to the days of food!
