Hobbit Walking Song - The Road Goes Ever On

Played by "The Starlit Jewel". The singers are Ernest Kinsolving and Kristoph Klover. The song is on the CD "The Starlit Jewel," available at http://www.flowinglass.com/sjewel.html
The original version of the song is recited by Bilbo in the last chapter of The Hobbit, at the end of his journey back to the Shire. Coming to the top of a rise he sees his home in the distance, and stops and says the following:

Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains of the moon.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

This was my grandfather's favorites. My Uncle sang this song at his funeral. Today is his anniversary of his death.

I love this tune, it feels very much like a walking song-- I've heard other versions that one could never sing while walking!

@shaune1000 It was sung by Bilbo near the end of The Hobbit when he reaches the Shire.
