Brilliant! Leadfingers, you are of course exactly right, and I never thought to look there, 'cause I thought I knew the song. Thank you very much!

Now, I leave this thread to le cheffie's search for a gamekeeper song that includes the following verse:

With his traps and guns and snares he will seek out foxes' lairs
and the warren where the rabbits often lurk
with his pair of trusty hounds whose devotion knows no bounds
Yes it's all part of the gamekeeper's work.
