Verse 1
There was three jolly huntsmen,
To hunting they did go,
To chase bold Reynolds,
It was the hue and cry.
Chorus
Yoicks my boys! The huntsman cried,
And so did every one,
Wivvy, wivvy wink, chivvy, chivvy, chink,
And over the hills they ran,
And over the hills they ran.
Verse 2
The first they met was a ploughboy,
A-ploughing of his land,
He swore he saw bold Reynolds,
Run up the fallow land
Chorus
Yoicks my boys! The huntsman cried,
And so did every one,
Wivvy, wivvy wink, chivvy, chivvy, chink,
And up the fallow they ran,
And up the fallow they ran.
Verse 3
The next they met was a blind man,
As blind as he could be,
He swore he saw bold Reynolds,
Run up a hollow tree,
Chorus
Yoicks my boys! The huntsman cried,
And so did every one,
Wivvy, wivvy wink, chivvy, chivvy, chink,
And up the tree they ran,
And up the tree they ran.
Verse 4
The next they met it was an old woman,
A-curling of her locks,
She swore she saw bold Reynolds,
Among the hens and cocks.
Chorus
Yoicks my boys! The huntsman cried,
And so did every one,
Wivvy, wivvy wink, chivvy, chivvy, chink,
And through the farm yard they ran,
And through the farm yard they ran.
