(ŠJon Turnball 1968)
There was a hobbit
Thirteen dwarves in all
A leader who was tall
And a human man of magic
And there were hazards big and small
They came with every dawn
The hobbit and the human man
Of magic saved them all
In the caves of evil goblins
The hobbit confronted [....] was hunted
No one knows from where the creature
Came...
Through [rivers?] and fields he goes
To meet with unknown foes
The dragon who hoards the gold
Or so the stories told
Beneath the Lonely Mountain top
Blood was shed, goblins fled
The leader who was tall is lying dead
There was a hobbit
Thirteen dwarves so small
No leader but a human man of magic
That was all
There was a hobbit - hobbit
Thirteen dwarves in all
A leader who was tall
And a human man of magic
A human man of magic
A human man of magic
A human man of magic
