Well, my patience in waiting for "Good King Théoden" is all worn out. So I'm just going to write it myself.

Good King Théoden looked out
On the plains of Rohan,
When the Orcs lay all about,
Dead and cleaved and broken.

Strangely stood the Huorns that morn,
For they weren't there be-fo-ore.
Then a Wizard came in sight,
And he knew about Fa-ang-orn.

"Hither, friend, and stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling,
Yonder trees tall, what are they?
Where and what their dwelling?"

"Sire, they live a good league hence,
By the Misty Mou-ountains;
Right against Isengard's fence,
By Orthanc's tow'r and fou-ountains!"

"Bring my sword and bring my maille,
Bring my horses and my guard;
Thou and I will ride the trail,
Forth to the ruins of Isengard."

King and Wizard forth they went,
Forth they went toge-ether
Through the Huorns to meet the Ent,
And with them went Three Hu-unters.

Well it isn't the best, but it is a very difficult song. I know I didn't get all the rhymes right...but that wierd stretching two syllable words into three syllables thing is a real pain.
