The Hobbits of the Shire (The Boys the Wore the Green, Union)
In the Forth Age of Middle Earth, beneath a burning sun,
Sharkey met the Hobbit troops in battle at Bywater
Above the Hobbit vanguard, was proudly to be seen
Beside the starry banner, old Pippin's flag of green.
Meriadoc Brandybuck led hobbits on that day
I wish the King of Rohan were to see him in the fray.
His charge upon the Ruffains was a most glorious scene,
With gallant Tookish armies and the hobbits of the Shire.
In the hottest of the fire, there rode along the line
A captain of the Took band, crying, "Now, boys, is your time."
Ah, who is he so proudly rides with bold dauntless Hobbits?
´Tis Peregrin Took of Tookland in the Shire.
The Hobbit band was fighting well with Ruffains today,
But then the reinforcements came and forced them all to flee
Then Pippin's dashing Tooks(1) who fought with bows for hunting meat
Took them in a moment with the Hobbits of the Shire
.
Being overpowered by numbers, their troops were forced to flee.
The Hobbits with their hunting bows at them shot furiously,
And in that hour of peril, the Uruks were to scream,
And Sharkey's band of evil men were never seen again.
Oh, the Hobbits of the Shire are a gallant band,
Bolder never drew a sword for their beloved land.
Though they love peace in life and barley know a sword,
They will fight any Uruk-Hai who dare come near again.
Farewell, to gallant Hobbits who fell that fatal day.
Farewell, ye noble warriors, now mouldering in the grave.
While blooms the leafy Mallorn, and read the old red book
Your deeds will live bold Hobbits and the evil Saruman.
