[Verse 1] In a hole by the hill, there lived Mr. Baggins still, A quiet hearth, a tidy door, then thirteen dwarves came thundering through the floor. A wizard grey with a pointed staff, set tea to trembling, stone to laugh, They asked for bread, they asked for light, and drew one hobbit out of night. [Chorus] Far, far from home we go, through rain and root and snow, Far, far from home we go, with a thief in tow. (With a thief in tow) (Far, far from home) [Verse 2] Over trolls at dawn they crept, while Bilbo shook and still he kept A single, clever spark in hand, and stones turned grave in the cursed land. Then goblin halls below the earth, where names lost weight and gold lost worth, He found a ring by riddle's grace, and came out pale to the mountain face. [Chorus] Far, far from home we go, through rain and root and snow, Far, far from home we go, with a thief in tow. (With a thief in tow) (Far, far from home) [Verse 3] Mirkwood's black leaves closed the sky, spiders spun their ropes up high, The barrels rolled and the torches fled, while elves and dwarves forgot the dead. At last to Smaug, the fire-red lord, on a bed of hoard and hammered sword, A thrush had heard the hidden seam, and arrows answered flame and steam. [Bridge] Then all the mountain blazed and rang, and death and grief in silence sang, The lake-men came with oars and pride, and many a hard-won dream was tried. But on the broken, bloodied field, the smallest hand would not yet yield, One ring was lost, one road was made, and winter waited in the shade. [Chorus] Far, far from home we go, through rain and root and snow, Far, far from home we go, with a thief in tow. (With a thief in tow) (Far, far from home) [Outro] So sing of hall and hearth and hill, of foolish courage, stubborn will, Of one small heart that held its course, and found its way through fear and force.
