Michael Morris, not sure which song you mean. would you name the poster and date?
Reiver 2 posted one under the title "Let's Go Hunting," 'mis-remembered' from Lomax, FSNA; the title in that book is "Let's Go A-Huntin'." Reiver 2 also made a couple of small errors in transcribing the last verse.

But thanks for reminding me of that thread. I had forgotton about the version I posted from Owens, "Texas Folk Songs," 1950, with the Billy Barlow character. Owens titled it "Hunting the Wren." He said his mother used it as a nursery rhyme and his brothers sang it as a game.
