Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hunting song (Geordie Hanna)
Subject: Lyr Req: Hunting song (Geordie Hanna)
On his album The Fisher's Cot, Geordie Hanna sings an interesting fragment from a song he heard his father sing. This fragment is all that Geordie could remember, I transcribe it as I hear it on the CD:-
going up yon lawn ?????? and my spirits grew dull When the briars and thorns were tearing my wool
Saying ray Tallyho See over see ho Bray hurrah cried the huntsman and under she goes.
Does anybody know this song or one similar to it? Fergus
