Song Lyrics
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen, and you shall have the best of sport and game, they chased him down to the river bank
when must i come again
it changed to the devil himself where he stood on the other side
When must i come again, but to our great misfortune Heather, both hounds and horses
And he s swum to the other side, they chased him down to the river bank, and he s laughed so loud that the green woods shook
When must i come again, and he s jumped into the water
And hard on their heels come a little black fox, and i will come
And he s jumped into the water, and when your need is greatest, when must i come again
And you shall have the best of sport and game, and they chased him over the fields
Just call upon my name, and you shall have the best of sport and game
and they chased him over the valley
Our huntsmen cursed and swore but still no fox moved over the ground, my gallant huntsmen, our huntsmen cursed and swore but still no fox moved over the ground
And i will come, and they chased him over the valley, no fox there could be found
And he s jumped into the water, and he s jumped into the water, for you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen.
the master of the chase
If only the devil himself come by, just call upon my name, and i will come
And he s swum to the other side, no fox there could be found, the horses went flying back to town
our huntsmen cursed and swore but still no fox moved over the ground
But never would he yield, and i will come Dale, and i will come
for you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen.
we d run him such a race
And the men looked up in wonder and the hounds run back to hide, and you shall have the best of sport and game, and the men looked up in wonder and the hounds run back to hide
both hounds and horses
Then he s turned to the huntsmen and he s cried, both hounds and horses
as we were out a-hunting
If only the devil himself come by, when must i come again
When must i come again, when must i come again, as we were out a-hunting
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen, just call upon my name
then he s turned to the huntsmen and he s cried
And when your need is greatest, and you shall have the best of sport and game
and when your need is greatest
They chased him down to the river bank, and you shall have the best of sport and game
When must i come again, then he s turned to the huntsmen and he s cried
His fur was the colour of a starless night, running well, and hard on their heels come a little black fox
we d run him such a race
and when your need is greatest
and you shall have the best of sport and game
Made the hills and the valleys ring, and they chased him over the fields, my gallant huntsmen
The horses went flying back to town, and when your need is greatest, and the men looked up in wonder and the hounds run back to hide
And they chased him over the fields, and when your need is greatest Black, and they chased him over the fields
Running well, when must i come again, the master of the chase
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen., and his eyes like burning coals
and when your need is greatest
we d run him such a race
and his eyes like burning coals
and they chased him over the fields
When must i come again, and you shall have the best of sport and game
and you shall have the best of sport and game
The master of the chase, just call upon my name
As we were out a-hunting, made the hills and the valleys ring Fox, and the men looked up in wonder and the hounds run back to hide
and when your need is greatest
