So here’s a rousing song about them hobbits gathering before the battle of Greenfields. Oh, and many pictures from the field trip last Sunday too. Enjoy!

Follow me up to Greenfields

The song is best sung ter the tune of Follow me up to Carlow, here in a version by Paddy Reilly.

Gather ’round and hear me tale, of dangers in a northern dale
The news may turn yer cold and pale, the goblins are encroaching
Theft and plunder far and wide, packs of wolves run by their side
Now it’s time ter turn the tide, the goblins are approaching

Curse and swear, go up there, chase them goblins from their lair
Put yer bags upon yer mare, find yer clubs and small shields
No time now ter sit and brood, danger comes both vile and crude
Bring yer weapons and yer food, follow me up to Greenfields

Gather in the northern camp, although the weather may be damp
Settle down and light yer lamp, rest before the battle
Yer will overcome yer fear, swing yer club and throw yer spear
Fight for all that yer hold dear, goblin knees will rattle

Curse and swear, go up there, chase them goblins from their lair
Put yer bags upon yer mare, find yer clubs and small shields
No time now ter sit and brood, danger comes both vile and crude
Bring yer weapons and yer food, follow me up to Greenfields

Gather ’round and hear me tale, of dangers in a northern dale
The news may turn yer cold and pale, the goblins are encroaching
Yer will overcome yer fear, swing yer club and throw yer spear
Fight for all that yer hold dear, the goblins are approaching

Curse and swear, go up there, chase them goblins from their lair
Put yer bags upon yer mare, find yer clubs and small shields
No time now ter sit and brood, danger comes both vile and crude
Bring yer weapons and yer food, follow me up to Greenfields

More about the Battle of Greenfields

Yer should have a look at the Bullroarer Took song lyrics and the stories from the battle. And yer should definitely read Simbo’s three-part epic Bullroarer poem over on the Grand Order forums!

Pictures

First of all, miss Rowana has added many pictures from the trip over at the Grand Order forums.
