I've found my written text for Dr.Mack/The Holmfirth Hunting Song, which I copied from a book in the C# House library ca. 40years ago. There are a few changes: 1. Here Dr. Mack........ ..................... It's his delight to drink all night, his cares in punch to drown,sir And in the morn to join the horn and tally-ho the hounds,sir 2. It's every day........ ...................... He laughs and winks at those that drinks and those that are not bound,sir He takes his glass and lets it pass to tally-ho the hounds,sir 3.It happened upon......... He heard the music of the horn and saw bold Reynard pass,sir 4.It's every time he goes to mass, the priest puts on his boots,sir ........ 6.This priest he had an honest heart,he'd neither friend nor harm,sir The sprightly horn...... He ne'er oppressed nor poor distressed,his praise I will renown,sir He thinks no crime at any time...... Derek & Dorothy E........Barnsley Festival......"down Memory Lane" Don
