Old Toby! (A Pipe-weed Song) - Irish Folk Tune

This time I'm trying something a little different. This song is not one written by Tolkien, but inspired by his works nonetheless! Lyrics written by myself, but based on what we know from the books, chiefly from "Concerning Pipe-weed" from the prologue of the Lord of the Rings. I felt that since the Hobbits were so proud of their pipe smoking tradition, they would have likely had some sort of ballad about their love for pipe-weed. Based on Bilbo's declaration that Old Toby was "the finest weed in the Southfarthing," this song is a tribute to Tobold Hornblower's finest discovery. Lyrics and song structure composed by me and then passed through Suno to generate music; then editing and remixing done in an audio editor, per usual. Video made using clips from the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit films. Hope you enjoy! --------------------- Lyrics: Old Toby! Old Toby! Southfarthing born and grown! Old Toby! Old Toby! The finest pipe-weed ever known! In the Southfarthing where the soil is warm, Grows the old green leaf that we love to farm! With a flower so sweet when the plant gets ripe, And a smoke so neat from the puff of pipe! Well it came by Sea from the Westernesse, But the Shire-grown weed is the one that's best! Now there's many a leaf at the Prancing Pony, But there's no better herb than our own Old Toby! Old Toby! Old Toby! Southfarthing born and grown! Old Toby! Old Toby! The finest pipe-weed ever known! Now Dwarf and Man may love the stuff, But Hobbits were the first to take a puff! In a Hornblower garden where it all did start, Twas a home-grown, Shire-bred work of art! Old Toby! Old Toby! Southfarthing born and grown! Old Toby! Old Toby! The finest pipe-weed ever known! Oh there's Sweet Galenas, And there's Southlinch from Bree, Southern Star, Hornpipe Twist, And Longbottom leaf... But the greatest of all, Well it grows proud and tall... It's the one we desire, It's the pride of the Shire! So good and so strong, It might make your head sore! You'll smoke and you'll smoke... and then you'll smoke more! Old Toby! Old Toby! Southfarthing born and grown! Old Toby! Old Toby! The finest leaf you'll ever smoke! Old Toby! Old Toby! Southfarthing born and grown! Old Toby! Old Toby! The finest pipe-weed ever known! It's strong and it's sweet! It just can't be beat! It's a Shire Folk treat! It puts hair on your feet! Old Toby! Old Toby! Southfarthing born and grown! Old Toby! Old Toby! The finest leaf you'll ever smoke! Old Toby! Old Toby! Southfarthing born and grown! Old Toby! Old Toby! The finest pipe-weed ever known!
