In the beginning of FotR there is a song sung by Gandalf when he comes up the road with his wagon before he meets Frodo.... The same song appears when Bilbo leaves the Shire....he sings it while walking off....Does anybody know what song this is? I'd love to know....because this part that is sung is always in my head now and I'd like to sing it:P
That's the lyrics (first verse): The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Persuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And wither then? I cannot say.
But I don't have any title nor sound clip......Was this song written for lotr...or did it exist before? Thanks for helping:)

Hey, this song is in the FOTR book - its a Hobbit walking song that Bilbo taught Frodo - i dont think there are any sound clips actually...its a really good song. its called The Road Goes Ever On though - theres a LOTR music book by Donald Swan that i borrowed from my local library that has this song in it - its from the 70's i think, but there are some really nice melodies. im sure you could find it online somewhere, I hope ive helped ya out a bit!! take it easy!! xTx
