[Verse 1: Sung by Bilbo, page 35]
The Road goes ever on and on
    Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
    Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
    And whither then? I cannot say.

[Verse 2: Sung by Frodo, page 72]
The Road goes ever on and on
    Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
    Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
    And whither then? I cannot say.

[Verse 3: Sung by Bilbo, page 965]
The Road goes ever on and on
    Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
    But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
    My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
