I wonder if Tolkien had a specific tune in mind for this song. On the recordings he made in the fifties he sang Sam's Troll Song to the tune of 'A fox went out on a winter's night'.
As an aside, it took me a while to realise that Bilbo's song of Earendel fits the tune of 'I am the very model of a modern major general' (from Pirates of Penzance) perfectly. |
