Dogs And Ferrets |
| Traditional |
| I keep my dogs and I keep my ferrets |
| I have them in my keeping |
| To catch those hares that run by night |
| While the game keepers lie sleeping |
| My dogs and I went out on a cold night |
| For to view the habitation |
| Up jumped a hare and away she did ran |
| Straight into a plantation |
| She had not gone a long way in |
| When something caught her running |
| So loudly then I heard her cry |
| For she knew the dogs were coming |
| I took my knife all in my hand |
| So quickly for to paunch her |
| She was one of the female kind |
| How glad I was I’d caught her |
| Then I’ll go down to some ale house near |
| And I’ll drink that hare quite mellow |
| I’ll spend a crown and a merry crown too |
| And say «I'm a right good fellow» |
