Verse 1
I keep my dogs and ferrets, too,
I have them in my keeping,
To catch good hares all in the night,
While the gamekeeper lies sleeping.
Verse 2
My dogs and I went out one night,
'Twas to view their habitation,
Up jumped poor puss and away ran she
Straightway to our plantation.
Verse 3
She had not gone so very far in
Before something caught her running;
So loudly she cried out, 'Aunt!'
Says I, 'Uncle's just a coming.'
Verse 4
I then drew out my little pen knife,
All quickly for to paunch her;
She turned out one of the female kind,
How glad I was I catched her!
Verse 5
Now we'll go down to a public inn
And drink this hare quite mellow,
And I'll spend a crown, and a merry crown, too,
And be a hearty, bold fellow.
