Me and You and a Dog Named Hu
(based on "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" by Lobo)
Beren looks back on the Quest for the Silmaril and how glad he is that the hard part is over, thanks in large part to Lúthien and Huan, but he also realizes that it's time to head back to Doriath and tell Thingol what happened. So he sings this song to Lúthien:
I remember to this day
How your dad sent me away
To wander without you
In the cold and the rain.
It was love that made me go,
And that love drove you also.
Oh, how I wish we were
Back on the road again.
Me and you and a dog named Hu,
Travelin' and a-livin' on the land.
Me and you and a dog named Hu…
How I love bein' a free man.
I can still recall
The horror of Finrod's fall,
And how beyond all hope Huan
Brought you to my aid.
Thrashing Sauron was a piece of work;
Then we laid Felagund beneath the earth,
Set the captives free, and got
Back on the road again.
Me and you and a dog named Hu,
Travelin' and a-livin' on the land.
Me and you and a dog named Hu…
How I love bein' a free man.
I'll never forget the day
Your words held Morgoth's power at bay
And we accomplished a feat that
Made the trip worth the pain.
But though we've rested here a month or so,
Somethin's tellin' me it's time to go.
We gotta get away and get
Back on the road again.
Me and you and a dog named Hu,
Travelin' and a-livin' on the land.
Me and you and a dog named Hu…
How I love bein' a free man.
