There's a serious lack of Tom Bombadil songs. I had to do something about that. Tom Bombadil is an enigmatic character from Lord of the Rings, who is missing from every film adaptation I'm aware of (probably for good reason).

The Hobbits encounter him in the old forest outside of The Shire where he saves them, houses them, sends them on their way, and then saves them again-- all before they get to Bree.

He is a whimsical character who spends most of his time singing to himself and gathering flowers for his love, Goldberry, who might be some kind of river spirit.

I took the lyrics of his songs from the book and arranged them into a single song. I imagined the Hobbits singing this as a folk song about Tom as though he is a myth or tall-tale handed down through generations.
