The female duo Taggart and Wright did a very fine version of Hunting the hare . Recorded on their first CD NowWe Are Met. Very difficult to get hold of one nowadays so very lucky if you have one.
There is a rumour they may be getting back together for a few gigs.

We discourage requesting lyrics on the Mudcat Facebook page that is used for performance announcements and such, so when a request came in this morning I redirected him to several threads on Mudcat. (Answers on FB disappear quickly and don't help anyone else later.)

I didn't find the answer here, but posting his question now may yield the results he needs.

From Jeremy Dale on Facebook:

I'm trying to track down an anti-hunting song that starts off 'I'm a rich old bastard with bugger all else to do'. The guy who ran our folk club for years died last week and we're trying to assemble a booklet of his favourite songs, but that one has defeated us.
Any ideas?
