A Song of Bimble Bay is a poem by J.R.R. Tolkien in his series Tales and Songs of Bimble Bay, written around 1928, first published in The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a comic piece about the misadventures of an old man from Bimble Bay, an imaginary English seaside town. There are three manuscripts of the poem, and on the third one a note was written that the poem was to be sung to the tune of "The Fox Went Out", a traditional English folk song also indicated as the tune for The Stone Troll.[1]
