HUNTING THE HARE
As recorded by Tom and Barbara Brown on “Just Another Day” (2014)

What joys can compare with the hunting of the hare
In the morning, boys, in the morning, boys,
In the sweet and the pleasant weather?

Chorus (after each verse):
When the bugle horn does sound,
We’ve got sport all on the ground,
Ran-tan-tero, huzzah, ran-tan-tero, huzzah,
Ran-tan-tero, my boys, we’ll follow.

And when poor puss arise then away from us she flies,
And we’ll give her, boys, and we’ll give her, boys,
One thundering and loud holler.

And when poor puss is killed, we’ll retire from the field,
And we’ll count, boys, and we’ll count, boys,
On the same good run tomorrow.

So what joys can compare with the hunting of the hare
In the morning, boys, in the morning, boys,
In the sweet and the pleasant weather?
