What with Spring attackung us shortly, I'll naturally be singing
Reynard the Fox
On the first day of spring in the year ninety-three (March 20, 2007 - 20:07 EDT) There was great recreation was in this country There was gentlemen and farmers over hills and dales and rocks They rode out so joyfuly in search of a fox.
Tally-ho, hark away, tally-ho hark away Tally-ho, hark away me boys away, hark away
But as much as there is written here & there about songs by this title, I haven't found much of anything on the source of this one. As I recall (haven't unpacked the LPs yet) Lloyd's notes on Champions and Sporting Blades don't much help.
