Raynard The Fox The Wolfe Tones

On the first day of spring in the year Ninety-Three
The chief recreation was in this country
The King's county gentlemen o'er whose dales and rocks
They rode out so jovially in search of the fox

[Refrain]
Tally-ho, hark away, tally-ho, hark away
Tally-ho, hark away, me boys, away

When Reynard was started he faced Tullamore
Then Arklow and Wicklow along the sea shore
We kept his brush in view every yard of the way
And straight he steered a course through the streets of Rosscrea

[Refrain]
Tally-ho, hark away, tally-ho, hark away
Tally-ho, hark away, me boys, away

But Reynard, sly Reynard, lay hid there that night
They swore they would watch him until the daylight
But early next morning, the hills did resound
With the echo of the horn and sweet cry of hounds

[Refrain]
Tally-ho, hark away, tally-ho, hark away
Tally-ho, hark away, me boys, away
