Lyrics
Ride on my gallant huntsmen when must i come again, our huntsmen cursed and swore but still
the master of the chase
No fox there could be found, no fox moved over the ground
And he s swum to the other side, but never would he yield
and up there sprung like lightening
And the hounds run back to hide, a fox from out of his hole
And up there sprung like lightening, the hounds and horses
and when your need is greatest
And up there sprung like lightening, we d run him such a race, and he s laughed so loud that the greenwood shook
And they chased him over the fields, for the fox had changed to the devil himself Tinsmith, and he s jumped into the water
and i will come and you shall have the best of sportin again.
And they chased him over the fields, and when your need is greatest, and i will come and you shall have the best of sportin again
no fox moved over the ground
both hounds and horses running well
One morning in the spring, ride on my gallant huntsmen when must i come again Black, the master of the chase
The master of the chase, and hard on their heels come a little black fox
Ride on my gallant huntsmen when must i come again, just call upon my name
Ride on my gallant huntsmen when must i come again, a fox from out of his hole, and the men looked up in wonder
As we were out a-hunting, but never would he yield, and up there sprung like lightening
the hounds and horses
For the fox had changed to the devil himself, just call upon my name
Went flying back to town, no fox there could be found, a fox from out of his hole
if only the devil himself d come by
His fur was the color of a starless night, where he stood on the other side
No fox moved over the ground, and the hounds run back to hide The, and he s laughed so loud that the greenwood shook
but never would he yield
Made the hills and the valleys ring, no fox moved over the ground, and hard on their heels come a little black fox
And his eyes like burning coals, and he s swum to the other side, and then he s turned to the huntsmen and cried
And they chased him over the fields, and they chased him over the valley, the hounds and horses
And he s laughed so loud that the greenwood shook, as we were out a-hunting
And he s laughed so loud that the greenwood shook, and they chased him over the valley, for never shall you want for a fox to chase all over the glen
And i will come and you shall have the best of sportin again., our huntsmen cursed and swore but still, for never shall you want for a fox to chase all over the glen
And he s swum to the other side, for the fox had changed to the devil himself Black, and up there sprung like lightening
and hard on their heels come a little black fox
And up there sprung like lightening, for the fox had changed to the devil himself
And the hounds run back to hide, and the hounds run back to hide, the hounds and horses
And upspoke our master huntsman, but to our great misfortune
and then he s turned to the huntsmen and cried
And his eyes like burning coals, where he stood on the other side
one morning in the spring
Both hounds and horses running well, we d run him such a race, and he s swum to the other side
And hard on their heels come a little black fox, and they chased him over the valley
A fox from out of his hole, and i will come and you shall have the best of sportin again.
The hounds and horses, and upspoke our master huntsman
Ride on my gallant huntsmen when must i come again, but to our great misfortune Tinsmith, one morning in the spring
And they chased him over the valley, a fox from out of his hole
And he s swum to the other side, both hounds and horses running well, for never shall you want for a fox to chase all over the glen
The master of the chase, and upspoke our master huntsman, and upspoke our master huntsman
For the fox had changed to the devil himself, ride on my gallant huntsmen when must i come again, as we were out a-hunting
for the fox had changed to the devil himself
no fox moved over the ground
And when your need is greatest, ride on my gallant huntsmen when must i come again
Both hounds and horses running well, our huntsmen cursed and swore but still The, and i will come and you shall have the best of sportin again
and up there sprung like lightening
