And where are you going?
Your ponies need shoing!
The river is flowing!
O! tra-la-la-lally
here down in the valley!
O! what are you seeking,
And where are you making?
The faggots are reeking,
The bannocks are baking!
O! tri-lil-lil-lolly
the valley is jolly
ha ha!
O! where are you going
With beards all a-wagging?
No knowing, no knowing
What brings Mister Baggins
And Balin and Dwalin
Down into the valley
in June
ha ha!
O! will you be staying
Or will you be flying?
Your ponies are straying!
The daylight is dying!
Th fly would be folly,
To stay would be jolly,
And listen and hark
'Till the end of the dark
to our tune
ha ha !
