Parody of "Greensleaves" by Many

Alas, Gold Ring, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I did hate and love you long,
Corrupted in your company.

Chorus:
Precious was all my joy,
Precious was my delight,
Precious was my ring of gold,
It stole it, the nasty hobbit.

My life you’ve stolen, like my heart.
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain covetous Gollum
While my heart remains in captivity.

chorus

You have been ready at my hand,
To grant power and make me crave,
To lengthen life and pollute mind,
To rule, find, bring and bind slyly.

chorus

If you intend thus to deceive,
It does the more entangle me,
And even so, I still remain,
A mortal in captivity.

chorus

Alone I was in the dark
When it came with its nasty sword.
Riddles it wanted in the dark.
Ha! Tricksy it was! It cheated

chorus

But you, I desire no earthly thing.
I’ll find the thief. Horrid Baggins.
My birthday present it is. Mine!
The Precious came to me, it did.

chorus

Stinking Baggins I hates it, yes,
The hobbit will pay; it will see!
I’ll have the precious or I’ll die.
I wants it. It’s mine. My own.

chorus

Ah, Gold Ring, I’ll find you again,
Stroke you softly and whisper too,
I’ll leave my cavern to seek you,
Come once again my precious.
