Old Tom Bombadil Songtext
von Bear McCreary

Now let the song begin, let us sing together
Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather
Light on the budding leaf, dew on the feather
Wind on the open hill, bells on the heather

Oh, slender as a willow-wand, oh, clearer than clear water
Oh, reed by the living pool, fair river-daughter
Oh, spring time and summer time and spring again after
Oh, wind on the waterfall and the leaf′s laughter


Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow
Bright blue his jacket is and his boots are yellow
Reeds by the shady pool, lilies on the water
Old Tom Bombadil and the river-daughter

Oh, slender as a willow-wand, oh, clearer than clear water
Oh, reed by the living pool, fair river-daughter
Oh, spring time and summer time and spring again after
Oh, wind on the waterfall and the leaf's laughter

Oh, slender as a willow-wand, oh, clearer than clear water
Oh, reed by the living pool, fair river-daughter
Oh, spring time and summer time and spring again after
Oh, wind on the waterfall and the leaf′s laughter

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow
