I think this is the version sung by the Porter's. It is certainly the version that is recorded on the fell pack tapes. They have been masters of the E & E FH for 6 or 7 generations. I have a midi file and a cubase score file of the thing. Ask & you shall receive. Its a jolly song!!

Eskdale and Ennerdale Pack. (The)

Come hunter's lets go to the coverts below,
And drive dull cares away
We'll hunt the fox from off the rocks
before the break of day
Bold Reynard must die
is the hunters cry as we speed o'er the mountain tracks
For no fox in the land is able to stand t
The Eskdale and Ennerdale Pack.

So away we go together
Across the dent and the heather
Away we go with glee
Over the Lune and the Lee
Hark forward away on the break of day
We'll follow the Hounds and their musical bay
Our spirits never lack when hunters are on the track
for no fox in the land is able to stand the Eskdale and Ennerdale Pack.
for no fox in the land is able to stand the Eskdale and Ennerdale Pack.

His form out on the open plain
A fine fell fox reet through the rocks
thats worried again and again
Hip Hip hooray
the hunt did say
as they homeward make their track
For no fox in the land
is able to stand the Eskdfale and Ennerdale Pack

Before I close these lines of prose
I have one wish to say
My hunters and hounds have good luck abounds
and hunt for many a day
May hunt is hail may they never fail
to follow a huntsmens track
