Based on:
"Billy, Don't Be a Hero"
as performed by Paper Lace
The hobbit group came down along Main Street,
the autumn moon began to shine.
I looked across and there I saw Samwise,
waiting to go and join the line.
And with her head upon his shoulder
the young and lovely Rosie-lass.
From were I stood I saw she was crying
and through a tear I heard her gasp:
"Samwise, don't be a hero,
don't be a fool with your life.
Samwise, don't be a hero,
come back and make me your wife."
And as Samwise started to go,
she said "Keep your woolly head low.
Samwise, don't be a hero, come back to me".
The Fellowship were looking for Frodo,
the orcs were raging all around.
Then Strider cried "We've got to find Frodo,
you make sure you follow me, Sam."
"I need to stop and think," said Samwise.
"He would have gone back to the boats."
And Samwise ran back down the forest path,
forgetting all the words she said.
She said:
"Samwise, don't be a hero,
don't be a fool with your life.
Samwise, don't be a hero,
come back and make me your wife."
And as Samwise started to go,
she said "Keep your woolly head low.
Samwise, don't be a hero, come back to me".
I heard it said that they had some children,
They lived their lives in old Bag End.
They were told that their dad was a hero,
And Middle-Earth he helped to mend.
Now they just have their garden to tend.
"Samwise, don't be a hero,
don't be a fool with your life.
Samwise, don't be a hero,
come back and make me your wife."
And as Samwise started to go,
she said "Keep your woolly head low.
Samwise, don't be a hero, come back to me".
