Song Lyrics

Verse 1
The sun has just peeped his head over the hills,
The ploughboy is whistling so blithe in the fields,
The small birds are singing so sweet on each spray,
And the huntsman to his dogs does say.
Chorus
Tally ho! Hark away, away, away!
Tally ho! Hark away!
Verse 2
The fox jumped over the hedge so high,
And the hounds all after him go,
While all my fancy dwells upon Nancy,
And I'll sing: 'Tally ho! tally ho!
Verse 3
He has led us a chase more than fifty long miles,
Over hedges, over ditches, over gates and over stiles,
He has led us a chase six hours in full cry,
And now the poor fox must die.
Chorus
Verse 4
The fox jumped over the hedge so high,
And the hounds all after him go,
While all my fancy dwells upon Nancy,
And I'll sing: 'Tally ho! tally ho!
Now we'll cut off his brush with a holloing noise,
And drink a good health to the fox hunting boys.
Chorus
