Length: 150 words
Summary: A tramping carol.
Note: Sung by Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin on their way to Tom Bombadil's. Based on the traditional tune
"Over the River and Through the Woods."
Through the Old Forest and past the falls,
To Bombadil's house we go!
For he knows the way
To spend every day
Telling tales so merry-o!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls,
Escaping old Willow!
For Tom he knows
Where danger grows
As he travels to and fro!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls,
In a swift-ending day;
Goldberry sings
Songs fit for kings
Hurray for the rondelay!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls,
Trot fast and do not stray!
Food will surround
And drink abound
To appetite give way!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls,
And over the threshold's slate,
All fear will go
In fire's rich glow
And Tom will put us straight!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls,
Now Goldberry fair we spy!
Hurray that we've done,
Since we've lost the sun!
Hurray for the berry pie!
