Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR, nor do I own the song "Shenandoah" or any form of it which I have spoofed.

Authors note: If you know the song well, then this may not work. I only know an arrangement (quite a pretty one too!) So bear with. If you don't know either, then don't worry and enjoy it as a poem!

Oh Brandywine!

While trudging through Emmyn Muil, Sam begins to miss the Shire and breaks into a heartfelt song,

Oh, Brandywine, I long to hear you

Away, you rollin' river

Oh, Brandywine, I long to hear you

Away, we're bound away

Across wide Middle-earth.

---

Now the Anduin's a mighty river

Away, you rollin' river

Old kingdoms camp a long her border

Away, we're bound away

Across wide Middle-earth.

---

Brandywine, I do love good ale

Away, you rollin' river

It was for it across you I'd sail

Away, we're bound away

Across wide Middle-earth.

---

For seven long years I loved to garden

Away, you rollin' river

Seven more years I longed to till it!

Away, we're bound away

Across the wide Middle-earth.

---

Well, it's fare-thee-well, Hobbiton,

I'm bound to leave you

Away, you rollin' river

Brandywine, I will not deceive you

Away, we're bound away

Across the wide Middle-earth.
