A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that Ring used to call my name
And I knew if I had my choice
That I would listen to Its voice
And maybe I'd be happy for a while
But Mordor's darkness made me shiver
With every footstep I would quiver
Never easily I slept
Could hardly take another step
I can't remember if I cried
The day that thing within me died
But something touched me deep inside
The day my Precious died. So...

Bye, bye, giant firey eye,
Took the One Ring to the lava
And told it bye bye
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' hobbit beer and grog
Singin' this'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die.

Did you write the Book of Westmarch
Do you have any clue what it's like to march
If the elf lord tells you so
Do you believe in faith and hope
Can you trust an elven rope
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well you know, I'm not in love with Samwise
You can say what you like, spread all your lies
We never wore our shoes
Gollum had us singin' the blues.
Merry was an angsty tweenage Brandybuck
With a mushroom obsession that really sucked
But we knew we were out of luck
The day my Precious died. I started singin'...

Bye, bye, giant firey eye,
Took the One Ring to the lava
And told it bye bye
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' hobbit beer and grog
Singin' this'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die.

For ten years we've been on our own
In the dark and all alone
Things ain't how they used to be,
When Pippin sang for Denethor,
In a voice nobody'd heard before
A voice that came from you and me,
And while the king was eating fruit,
The blood ran down, the point was moot
The battle was far away
His blood was shed a later day
And while Sauron read a book on evil and good
Our quartet wandered through the woods
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day my Precious died. We were singin'

Bye, bye, giant firey eye,
Took the One Ring to the lava
And told it bye bye
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' hobbit beer and grog
Singin' this'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die.

Helter skelter in the summer swelter
The battles fought with the storm a pelter
Orcs on ladders falling fast,
We want to leave it in our past
Be free from memory at last
And escape into those other lands so vast
The Shire's air was sweet perfume
While Grima made them play his tune
He was ready to rule in advance
But he never got the chance
The orcs tried to take the field
Our fighting boys refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day my Precious died. We started singin'

Bye, bye, giant firey eye,
Took the One Ring to the lava
And told it bye bye
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' hobbit beer and grog
Singin' this'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die.

And there we were with hard parting words
Nothing could comfort Samwise he heard
With no time left to start again
So come on, Sam be happy, Sam be one,
You can't be torn 'till this is done
'Cause I am not your only friend
And as he watched me board the ship
To leave him on my final trip
He said his love was torn apart
Nowt could mend his broken heart
And as the ship sailed away into the night
Slowly passing from his sight
From his eyes went all the light
The day my Precious died. He was singin'...

Bye, bye, giant firey eye,
Took the One Ring to the lava
And told it bye bye
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' hobbit beer and grog
Singin' this'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die.

I met an Elf who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I walked down to the sacred shore
Where I had landed, years before
But my mind told me that Samwise wasn't there
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
For now my heart was broken
And the three beings I admire most
Gandalf, Elrond, and Arwen's ghost
They caught the last ship for this coast
The day my Precious died. And they were singin'...

Bye, bye, giant firey eye,
Took the One Ring to the lava
And told it bye bye
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' hobbit beer and grog
Singin' this'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die.
They were singin'
Bye, bye, giant firey eye,
Took the One Ring to the lava
And told it bye bye
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' hobbit beer and grog
Singin' this'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die.
