There was a hunter in the green Dillum down dillum There was a hunter in the green Kummy koo kwan He spied a lady up a tree Kummy koo cuddle dan Killy ko kwan
What keeps you here, my gay laydee?... I'm kept here by a wild boar....
How many has he kille of thee?... Oh, he's killed my lord and thirty-three....
How can I this wild boar see? Dillum down dillum How can I this wild boar see? Kummy koo kwan Just put your horn up to your mouth And blow the wind both north and south Kummy koo, cuddle dan, Killy ko kwan
He put his horn up to his mouth... And blew the wind both north and south....
This wild boar came with such a slash... That he cleared his way through oak and ash....
Old Bangum caught him by the tail... And with a hick'ry did him frail....
They fit four hours in the day... Oh, till last that wild boar ran away....
Old Bangum tracked him to his den... Thar lay the bones of a thousand men!...
(Then) Old Bangum drew his wooden knife... He rid that wild boar of its life....
(Then) there came a wild woman out of the woods... She says, Now you've killed my sportin' pig!...
Thar is three things I'll have of thee... That's your horse and hound and gay laydee....
Oh, then she made a pass at him... But he split her from the mouth to chin...
