I'll sing you one, oh.
High fly the Nazgul, oh.
What is your one, oh?
One for the One Ring, Lord of All,
That was destroyed by Frodo.
Ten for the battles of the Ring,
Nine for the nine brave walkers,
Eight for the ancient Elf swords,
Seven for the Dwarf-Lords magic rings,
Six for the names of Strider,
(Six for the six names of the King)*
Five for the Wizards from the West,
Four for the questing hobbits,
(Four for the hobbits on their quest)*
Three, three, the Elven rings,
Two, two the watchful towers, quarding over Moror, oh,
And one for the One Ring, Lord of All,
That was destroyed by Frodo.
*The parenthesized version is sung when this line is sung for the first time, and the other version thereafter.
