Hallo for the woods and the far away | C |

He hummed a song as he swung the flail | H |
Swung the flail in the afternoon | I |
When the idle fields are a wrecker's tale | H |

Halloo and oh | D |
Hallo for the fields and the hunter's moon | I |

He whistled a song as he shouldered his axe | K |
Shouldered his axe in the evening storm | L |
When the snow of the road shows the rabbit's tracks | K |
And the wind is a whip that the Winter cracks | K |
With a herdsman's cry o'er the clouds' black backs | K |
Halloo and oh | D |
Hallo for home and a hearth to warm | L |
