War film R.A.F. briefing version

Now, pay attention, chaps. It looks as though there are three rings for the Elf-wallahs, who'll probably be at ground level (under the sky, you see); seven, dwarves for the use of; now they'll apparently be in halls of stone, so look out for a bunker of some sort... No, Gwaihir, I don't think we'll need a sand wedge. Anyway, there are nine for mortal chaps, who go for a burton in the end, but only one for the enemy, on his dark throne, in Mordor. The shadows lie there, so expect the target to be obscured.

Just to recap, then: One ring rules, finds, brings and binds in the land of Mordor, which is as black as your hat. Any questions? Good luck.

Devon dialect version

Dree rings ver they Elven kings unner the sky
Zeb'n ver them Dwarf-chaps in their 'alls o' stone
Nine ver uz mortal volks, wot's doomed t'die
One ver that Dark Lord on 'is dark throne
Down Mordor way, where the shadows lie
One Ring t'rule 'em all
One Ring t'find 'em
One ring t'bring 'em all an' in the darkness bind 'em
Down Mordor way, where the shadows lie.
