The House You Live In - Gordon Lightfoot
Grand Hobbity Song
Late in the night, the forest is dark A light up ahead by a tree With songs in the air, both jolly and sad The ellufs go west to the sea But cherish the moment if yer come across them Go sing with yer voice all night long And the land we live in will ever be safe If yer share with them ellufs a hobbity song
Craftsmen in blood, with shields on their back Their boots thunder hard as they roam With bushy old beards, and songs of their halls The dwarves travel east fer their home But cherish the moment if yer come across them Go sing with yer voice all night long And the land we live in will ever be safe If yer share with them dwarves a hobbity song
Grey-clad and tall, with swords gleaming bright They wander the world far and wide So weary in heart, with thoughts of their past The rangers look north with a sigh But cherish the moment if yer come across them Go sing with yer voice all night long And the land we live in will ever be safe If yer share with them menfolk a hobbity song
Back in the Shire, yer friends always near Sit back and relax with yer meal A knock on yer door, yer neighbours are here Them picked up the scent of yer veal But cherish the moment if them come a’knocking And sing with yer voice all night long For the land we live in will ever be safe If yer share with yer neighbours a hobbity song For the land we live in will ever be safe If yer share with yer neighbours a hobbity song
