Walking to Mordor (by Frodo)
(originally Walking In Memphis, by Marc Cohn (ok, a million people have sung this
song... my version is by Marc Cohn...))
Put on my Elven cloak and
Boarded the boat
Set off from the land of the Golden
Trees
Middle of a battle ground
Samwise Gamgee
Why do you always follow me
Yeah, I got a one-way ticket
And I'm as scared as a boy can be
Walking to Mordor
Walking towards hurts that just
won't heal
Walking to Mordor
But do I really feel the way I feel
I dreamt a dream of Gandalf
Bridge of Khazad-dum
Watched him as he fell again and
again
That was
when my whole world fell
Now my Samwise does not remember
He said Gollum would prove his worth
But he just wants my Ring
Above everything
Before it all ends
Walking to Mordor
Walking towards hurts that just
won't heal
Walking to Mordor
But do I really feel the way I feel
Now, Gollum's got raw fish for his supper
But arrows filled the air
Caught by Faramir, not glad to see
us
I don't think we have a prayer
Not got a prayer in Mordor
Now we're back on our way
Climbing a stair that's so high
And I don't trust my loyal friend
Cos he asked me if he could
Share the load a while
And I ran with all my might
Into the lair of eight-legged hell
And I died and lost the Ring
Walking to Mordor
Walking towards hurts that just
won't heal
Walking to Mordor
But do I really feel the way I feel
Walking to Mordor
Walking towards hurts that just
won't heal
Walking to Mordor
But do I really feel the way I feel
Threw off the Orcish
mail, and
Started to climb
We reached the base of the Dark
Mount Doom
And destroyed the evil Ring
We reached the base of the Dark
Mount Doom
And destroyed my precious Ring
