The Battle of the Greenfields
A song by Zinni and Hilldi
((Tune - Boulavogue))
In the Greenfields as the sun was setting
O'er the bright meadows of the Shire
Golfimbul's hand set the Braziers blazing
And brought the monsters from far with fire
Then bullroarer took from Brocken borings
Spurred up the folk with a rallying cry
"Arm! Arm!" he cried,
"For I’ve come to lead you, for the Shire’s freedom we’ll fight or die!"
He lead us on against the coming army
And the cowardly Goblins we put to flight
Twas at the battle, folk of the Shire
Showed Golfimbul's regiment how we could fight
Look out for bounders, Chief Golfimbul
Search every town where lives a Hobbit
For Bandobras Bullroarer took lead them
To sweep over the army like a mighty wave
We took many injured, but we were strong
And bandobras fought off our evil foe
Twas at the fields our pikes were reeking
With the crimson blood of the beaten Gobos
At the Battle of the Greenfields
Full many a goblin lay in his gore
Ah! Bullroarer took had aid come over The Victory flag was soon to be hung
Our hero swung his club with a great "thwack"
And Golfimbul's head was hit down a rabbit hole and his army ran away as a pack
We grant you glory, brave Bullroarer Took
And open the keg to all your men
The cause that called you may call tomorrow in another fight for the Green again
