<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go To heal my heart and drown my woe. Rain my fall and wind may blow, And many miles be still to go, But under a tall tree I will lie, And let the clouds go sailing by.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>This song was heard by many viewers as Merry and Pippin led other Hobbits in the singing of this song at the Green Dragon Inn in the Extended Version of FOTR.Or did they?It seems to me that the last part of that song was changed.For one thing, does anyone know how it goes now? I cannot find it online anywhere. No one has the extended version movie script. For my second question...point...whatever, is there another version to this song that Tolkien came up with, or is it just something PJ and Fran decided to throw in? Opinions and possible answers please!
