Grishnakh's Lamentation (Paddie's Lamentation, Union Irish)

This is a little closer to the original than I'd like. Also, I've been trying to do more Union songs but find the Confederate songs much less repetitive and more creative, making them easier to parody. This is the last update you will get until I come back on Sunday. Check back then for another update.

By the hush and by the by,
And that's to hold your noise
And listen to poor Grishnakh's lamentation
I was by hunger pressed
And by poverty distressed
So I took an oath to leave that Wizard's Nation.

So I sold me sword and shield,
Sold me helmet and my spear,
Me little Uruk pit and me departed.
And me captain, Uglûck the brave,
I'm afeared I'll never see
For I left him on that mornin' very angry.

Here's you me orcs, do take my advice
To the Mordor Land I'll have you not be coming
For there's nothin' here but war
Where the murderous cave-trolls roar
And I wish I was back home
In dear old Orthanc

So meself and a hundred more
To a Mor-e-dor sailed o'er
Our fortunes to be makin' we were thinkin'
But when we got to Sauron Land
They stuck a scimitar in me hands
Sayin' "Grishnakh, you must go and fight for Sauron."

General Witch-king to us said
"If you get shot, or you lose your head
Every orc and son of you will get a pension"
But in the war I lost my leg
And all I got was a wooden peg
Oh Me Boys, it is the truth to you I'm tellin'

Here's you me orcs, do take my advice
To the Mordor Land I'll have you not be coming
For there's nothin' here but war
Where the murderous cave-trolls roar
And I wish I was back home
In dear old Orthanc

.
Now, I'd have thought meself in luck
To be fed on maggoty bread
And in Isengard the land that I delight in
But by Morgoth I do say
Curse Mor-e-dor today
For I'm sure I've had enough of your hard fightin'

About Grishnakh: I think his name is pronounced with two syllables, like Grish-Nak.
