What a nice back-story for that song. Dear Bilbo, of course he'd be the one to write the words.

[hhimring]

Yes!
This is very close to canon. All I did was add a few more details, like Bilbo being in the Green Dragon.

The tune changed words as people change their clothes.

That is just the perfect description of so many old tunes.

[hhimring]

Yes, tunes do that, don't they!

It is helpful to have a little music when walking. Bilbo was a wise hobbit.

Yes. Thank you, Erulisse!
