Whiskey in the Jar

I have a little tale,
Twas in the dead of Winter.
And all of us were sleeping,
When Wolves came a calling.
It only took a moment
For the Sheriffs to make the horn call,
And with our mighty call out
The Shire was awoken!

Call out, Fear, Fire and Foes!
Wake up ye hobbit lads,
Wake up ye hobbit lads!
The wolves are in the Shire.

The Brandybuck’s all armed up,
Gathered near the Brandywine,
Their bows were notched and ready
Even though their hands were shaken.
And over in old Tuckborough,
The Took’s they had their axes.
And move to guard their families,
From the wolves that had gathered.

Well it’s, Fear, Fire and Foes!
Wake up ye hobbit lads,
Wake up ye hobbit lads!
The wolves are in the Shire.

And soon a nasty row broke out,
All o’er the snowbound Shire.
Hobbit folk were angry,
As their homes they protected.
In the cold and deep of winter
The wolves were caught and slaughtered
Those that could fled back,
To the evil of Carn Dum.

Now it’s, Fear, Fire and Foes!
Wake up ye hobbit lads,
Wake up ye hobbit lads!
The wolves are in the Shire.

Now we sit at our evening fire
And speak of that winter tale
When the Shire rose up in darkness
To defend their homeland!
Its not a good thing to ever,
Poke or prod a hobbit.
We simmer slow and rarely boil
But when we do we all go over.

And it’s, Fear, Fire and Foes!
Wake up ye hobbit lads,
Wake up ye hobbit lads!
The wolves are in the Shire.

Every hobbit would much rather,
Have a beer and bite and gather
To laugh and talk of crops and friends
And swap up recipes for good pie.
But we will always stand tall,
If our homes, they are in danger
Now sit with us and have a drink
And share with us a story!

Yes, it’s, Fear, Fire and Foes!
Wake up ye hobbit lads,
Wake up ye hobbit lads!
The wolves are in the Shire.

Its time for me to head home,
My head from beer is all fuzzy
The beer was good, as well the food.
My friends you’re are not forsaken.
The Shire it will always,
Stand for hearth and homeland!
We’re always glad to share a cup.
But wolves they are unwelcome!

And it’s, Fear, Fire and Foes!
Wake up ye hobbit lads,
Wake up ye hobbit lads!
The wolves are in the Shire.

Yes, it’s, Fear, Fire and Foes!
Wake up ye hobbit lads,
Wake up ye hobbit lads!
The wolves are in the Shire.
