Hobbit Drinking Songs Songtext
von Colm R. McGuinness

Hey, ho! To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall and wind may blow
But there′ll still be many miles to go

Sweet as the sound of the pouring rain
And the stream that falls from a hill to plain
Better than rain or rippling brook
Is a mug of beer inside this Took

Hey, ho! To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall and wind may blow
But there'll still be many miles to go

Sweet as the sound of the pouring rain
And the stream that falls from a hill to plain
Better than rain or rippling brook
Is a mug of beer inside this Took


Hey, ho! To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall and wind may blow
But there′ll still be many miles to go

Sweet as the sound of the pouring rain
And the stream that falls from a hill to plain
Better than rain or rippling brook
Is a mug of beer inside this Took

Oh, you can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry
But you'll never find a beer so brown
(But you'll never find a beer so brown)
(But you′ll never find a beer so brown)
As the one we drink in our hometown

You can drink your fancy ales
You can drink ′em by The Flagon
But the only brew for the brave and true
But the only brew for the brave and true
Comes from The Green Dragon
