The horse is bedded downA
Where the straw lies deepB
The hound is in the kennelC
Let the poor hound sleepB
And the fox is in the spinneyD
By the run which he is hauntingE
And I'll lay an even guineaD
That a goose or two is wantingE
When the farmer comes to count them in the morningE
-
The horse is up and saddledF
Girth the old horse tightG
The hounds are out and drawingE
In the morning lightG
Now it's 'Yoick ' among the heatherH
And it's 'Yoick ' across the cloverH
And it's 'To him all together '-
'Hyke a Bertha Hyke a Rover '-
And the woodlands smell so sweetly in the morningE
-
'There's Termagant a whimperingE
She whimpers so '-
'There's a young hound yapping '-
Let the young hound goI
But the old hound is cunningE
And it's him we mean to followI
'They are running They are runningE
And it's 'Forrard to the hollo '-
For the scent is lying strongly in the morningE
-
'Who's the fool that heads him '-
Hold hard and let him passJ
He's out among the oziersJ
He's clear upon the grassJ
You grip his flanks and settleC
For the horse is stretched and strainingE
Here's a game to test your mettleC
And a sport to try your trainingE
When the Chiddingfolds are running in the morningE
-
We're up by the CoppiceJ
And we're down by the MillK
We're out upon the CommonL
And the hounds are running stillK
You must tighten on the leatherH
For we blunder through the brackenL
Though you're over hocks in heatherH
Still the pace must never slackenL
As we race through Thursley Common in the morningE
-
We are breaking from the tangleC
We are out upon the greenM
There's a bank and a hurdleC
With a quickset betweenM
You must steady him and try itN
You are over with a scrambleC
Here's a wattle You must fly itN
And you land among the brambleC
For it's roughish toughish going in the morningE
-
'Ware the bog by the GroveO
As you pound through the slushP
See the whip See the huntsmanL
We are close upon his brushP
'Ware the root that lies before youQ
It will trip you if you blunderH
'Ware the branch that's drooping o'er youQ
You must dip and swerve from underH
As you gallop through the woodland in the morningE
-
There were fifty at the findR
There were forty at the millK
There were twenty on the heathS
And ten are going stillK
Some are pounded some are shirkingE
And they dwindle and diminishT
Till a weary pair are workingE
Spent and blowing to the finishT
And we hear the shrill whoo ooping in the morningE
-
The horse is bedded downA
Where the straw lies deepB
The hound is in the kennelC
He is yapping in his sleepB
But the fox is in the spinneyD
Lying snug in earth and burrowI
And I'll lay an even guineaD
We could find again to morrowI
If we chose to go a hunting in the morningE
