GUEST,Don Wise Info: Derek and Dorothy Elliott (50) RE: Derek and Dothy Elliott 04 Jul 12


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......
