Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!
From Tolkien Gateway
Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! is a song sung by Tom Bombadil, and later, by Frodo Baggins. Tom instructed Frodo and the other hobbits to sing it if they were in trouble and needed him to rescue them.[1] When the hobbits were in danger from a Barrow-wight Frodo sang the song and they were rescued by Tom Bombadil who sang Get Out! You old Wight! Vanish in the Sunlight!.[2]
The poem[edit | edit source]
Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow,
By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us!
Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!
