Grand Journey Home Song



Grand Journey Home Song

(I amended the last verse a bit, according to what I learned at this More Tool How place)

First we stopped by the Old Bridge Inn
But the owner didn't let us in
We took the long way home
We took the long way home

The Bree town was quite like a maze
And so we continued with haste
We took the long way home
We took the long way home

After that we stopped by the Bree homesteads
They didn't sell biscuits

So we went on

We reached a place called the Forsaken Inn
But they served only swill

And had no roof

Oss Gurruff had the highest stairs
And we accidentally burned their beds
We took the long way home
We took the long way home


The Ford Bruinen was cleared of fish
When we hobbits stopped by it
We took the long way home
We took the long way home

Last Homely House had the cleanest rug

And wines were fine
Such a grand inn!

Then we saw some giants with some giant feet
And went fishing too

For giant weeds...
The Eregion Inns were mostly ruins
And their tents too small
For us to sleep there


But our final destination was getting near
Music reached our ears
And we ran

Those hobbits were almost like us
But they were fond of "turnip delights"
We took the long way home
We took the long way home


Home, home, home
Home!

((OOC: The melody is quite similar to the one of this song here))
