This is the game of our heartsA
Foot to the stirrup AwayB
Care with the night departsA
Joy comes in with the dayB
A good horse tossing his ringsC
A light rime decking the thornD
And the heart of the horseman singsC
For love of a hunting mornD
This is the game of our heartsA
Mottled flanks in the fernE
Rate where a rabbit startsA
Cheer to a waving sternE
Call that we rush to obeyB
From a Whip at his post outsideF
Gone away Gone aw a a ayB
And we sit down to rideF
This is the game of our heartsA
Crash and rattle of railG
Lean hounds driving like dartsA
Into the breast of the valeG
Tried Age taking the leadH
Rash Youth coated with clayB
Glory and glamour of speedI
And a right fox awayB
This is the game of our heartsA
Whatever luck may ensueJ
This where a Master of ArtsA
May fail and a dunce get throughJ
This where the confident thrustK
This where the cowardly craneL
This where there's nothing to trustK
But fate and the feel of the reinL
This is the game of our heartsA
Squire and lawyer and lordM
Men of the farms and the martsA
Men of the pen and the swordM
Comrades we jog to the meetN
Rivals we ride the lineO
And the sound of the hoofs is sweetN
And the taste of the wind is wineO
