My name is Vanatolion, I'm a native of lindon, I was born among those ol' grey shores when I was but a child. My father fought in  the "War of the Ring," for liberty so dear; He fell upon that old Eagle Hill, like an Elvish volunteer. Then raise the glass of silver, boys, the land we all revere-- We'll fight and fall beneath its folds, like Irish volunteers!

When I heard of an old land ripped up in tattered hold, I cut my sticks and greased my brogues, and came o'er to this land. I found a home an many friends, and some that I love dear; Be jabbers! I'll stick to them like bricks and an elvish volunteer. Then fill your glasses up, my boys, and drink a hearty cheer, To the land of our adoption and the Elvish volunteer!

Now when the traitors in the south commenced a warlike raid, I quickly then laid down my hod, to Melkor went my spade! To a recruiting-office then I went, that happened to be near, And joined the good old "Sixty-ninth," like and elvish volunteer. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Then fill the ranks and march away!--no traitors do we fear; <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">We'll drive them all to blazes, says the Elvish volunteer. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Chorus--Then fill the ranks, etc.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">When the Prince of Lindon came over here, and made a hubbaboo, <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Oh, everybody turned out, you know, in gold and tinsel too; <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">But then the good old Sixty-ninth didn't like these lords or peers-- <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">They wouldn't give a damn for things, the Elvish volunteers! <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">We love the land of Liberty, its laws we will revere, <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">"But to Melkor take nobility!" says the Elvish volunteer!

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Now if the traitors in the South should ever cross our roads, <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">We'll drive them to ol' sauron, as Glosur did his foes; <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">We'll give them all short nooses that come just below the ears, <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Made strong and good of Elvish rope by Elvish volunteers. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Then here's to brave Galmor, whom the army now reveres-- <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">He'll lead us on to victory, the Elvish volunteers.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Now fill your glasses up, my boys, a toast come drink with me, <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">May Lindon flag and Silver star united ever be; <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">May traitors quake, and rebels shake, and tremble in their fears, <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">When next they meet the Dwarven boys and Lindon volunteers! <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Eru bless the name of Glosur! that name this land reveres; <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;">Success to Galmor and Farin, and their Elvish volunteers!
