Tom Bom, Jolly Tom! Tom Bombadillo! (Lord of the Rings) - Irish Folk Cover

"Someone was singing a song: a deep glad voice was singing carelessly and happily, but it was singing nonsense." With this song I compiled Tom's songs from the chapter "The Old Forest." I based the melody roughly on Rob Inglis' reading from the audiobook (as suggested by a listener). Tom's first three line "song" was used throughout this song to create a chorus. This is a fun song with a bit of "nonsense," but it's happy and careless and I think Tom Bombadil's songs make for a great folk tune! Song created by first recording myself on guitar/vocals. The recording was then run through SunoAI to create a more rich musical composition. Music was stemmed, re-mixed, re-edited, with additional vocals and instruments added in an audio editor. Video created using footage recorded by myself as well as stock footage from 'Pexels'. Credit to the Hildebrandt Brothers for the thumbnail artwork. Now let the fun begin & let us sing together! ------------ Lyrics: Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling! Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling. Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight, Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight, There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter, Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water. Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies brining Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing? Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! and merry-o, Goldberry, Goldberry, merry yellow berry-o! Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your roots away! Tom's in a hurry now. Evening will follow day. Tom's going home again water lilies bringin. Hey! Come derry dol! Can you hear me singing? Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hop along, my little friends, up the Withywindle! Tom's going on ahead candles for to kindle. Down west sinks the Sun: soon you will be groping. When the night-shadows fall, then the door will open, Out the window-panes light will twinkle yellow. Fear no alder black! Heed no hoary willow! Fear neither root nor bough! Tom goes on before you. Hey now! merry dol! We'll be waiting for you! Hey! Come derry dol! Hop along, my hearties! Hobbits! Ponies all! We are fond of parties. Now let the fun begin! Let us sing together! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
