skw@ Lyr Req: The Boar and the Fox (Battlefield Band) (13) RE: The Boar and the Fox 23 Nov 98

There's nothing I can add to the words. All I found were the sleevenotes of the Battlefield Band album - which don't help much either, I'm afraid:
[1981:] This unusual and macabre song was found in James Hogg's 'Tales of the Borders'. We don't know its origins or date but it may be an allegory based on a political murder in Scottish history. The melody is a pipe tune called Sleep Dearie Sleep. (Notes Battlefield Band, 'Home Is Where the Van Is')
