THE THREE HUNTERS

Three men they went a hunting, a hunting went one day,
Till they came to a monkey, as they were on their way.
Says the Englishman "A monkey!"
"Oh no," says Scot, "Oh nay!"
Says Paddy, "That's your grandfather
And his hair is turning gray"
Look a there, O there! Whack fol the dee,
Look a there. O there! Whack fol dee diddle O day.

Three men they went a hunting, a hunting went one day,
Till they came to a haystack, as they were on their way.
Says the Englishman "A haystack!"
"Oh no," says Scot, "Oh nay!"
Says Paddy, "That's a Protestant church
And the steeple is blowed away,
Look a there, O there! Whack fol the dee,
Look a there. O there! Whack fol dee diddle O day.

Three men they went a hunting, a hunting went one day,
Till they came to a hedgehog, as they were on their way.
Says the Englishman "A hedgehog!"
"Oh no," says Scot, "Oh nay!"
Says Paddy, "That's a pincushion
With the pins stuck in the wrong way
Look a there, O there! Whack fol the dee,
Look a there. O there! Whack fol dee diddle O day.
