Anyone out there got the lyrics to William Bouse - the fox strangling man. Bouse is pronounced Boo. It's a fell pack song.

I have no idea what the above request is about, and I have been unable to find anything relevant with Google.

What is fox strangling? Does it have anything to do with fox hunting? What is a fell pack, or a fell pack song?
