A song for the Greenest Homely Inn.
Last Friday, 20th May, we celebrated the 14th anniversary of the weekly hobbit gathering at the Green Dragon in Bywater. Miss Lina already wrote something about the special evening here. In addition to pie tasting, raffles, and the gossip, there was also music and songs. I wrote one new song for the party as well – about the Green Dragon, of course. Here it is! Feel free to hum or even sing along.
It’s Friday evening again And I am here with my friends I leave my worries behind Nothing will weigh on my mind Dressed in garments so green I’m at my favourite inn Here I do not feel alone The Green Dragon’s my home
We dance, play tunes and sing Maybe spill our drinks The rumours spread all around Tall tales from the wide world There’s gentle strums by a lad Faint grumbles from the back This is where I belong The Green Dragon’s my home
There’s the sticky old rug Watery beer in yer mug Yet it feels so good to be here Valuing food and cheer
Tonight, let’s forget all else Tonight, let’s be all friends Tonight I sing you my song For Green Dragon is my home For Green Dragon is my home
Green trees light up the sky Soon it is time for goodbyes But never for a long while So there’s no reason to cry We will meet here again At our beloved old inn
Where we can sing our song The Green Dragon is our home The Green Dragon is our home The Green Dragon is our home The Green Dragon is our home
OOC: This tune is best sung to the melody of I'll Find my Way Home by Jon and Vangelis. Master Vangelis passed away just recently, so that gave me the idea to use this song for my lyrics.
