Years ago I heard or (more probably) read a lyric for a song about a charitable poacher:
When the gamekeeper fell ill and could no longer go out and catch game to feed himself, the poacher brought offerings of rabbits, etc., to his doorstep and left them there so that the keeper would have something to eat -- so the two of them could go back to their traditional adversarial roles.
I've never found it again, and sadly I have no lyrics -- can someone help me?
Also please see this thread; someone else is looking for a gamekeeper song as well and has most of a verse of lyrics, but has mistitled the thread.
