Subject: Add: THE FOX JUMPS OVER THE PARSON'S GATE From: masato sakurai Date: 26 Jul 03 - 08:34 AM THE FOX JUMPS OVER THE PARSON'S GATE (Randolph Caldecott's Picture Books 12, 1883) The Huntsman blows his horn in the morn, When folks goes hunting, oh! When folks goes hunting, oh! When folks goes hunting, oh! The Huntsman blows his horn in the morn, When folks goes hunting, oh! The Fox jumps over the PARSON's gate, And the Hounds all after him go, And the Hounds all after him go, And the Hounds all after him go. But all my fancy dwells on NANCY, So I'll cry, TALLY-HO! So I'll cry, TALLY-HO! Now the PARSON had a pair to wed As the Hounds came full in view; He tossed his surplice over his head, And bid them all adieu! But all my fancy dwelt on NANCY, So he cried, TALLY-HO! So he cried, TALLY-HO! Oh! never despise the soldier-lad Though his station be but low, Though his station be but low, Though his station be but low. But all my fancy dwells on NANCY, So I'll cry, TALLY-HO! Then pass around the can, my boys; For we must homewards go, For we must homewards go, For we must homewards go. And if you ask me of this song The reason for to shew, I don't exactly know--ow ow, I don't exactly know. But all my fancy dwells on NANCY, So I'll sing, TALLY-HO! So I'll sing, TALLY-HO! But all my fancy dwells on NANCY, So I'll sing, TALLY-HO! |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE HUNTSMAN'S WIFE From: Jim Dixon Date: 08 Dec 07 - 02:47 PM These lyrics come from the oldest book that Google Book Search shows to contain the phrase "all my fancy dwells": The Universal Songster: Or, Museum of Mirth [no author given], London: Jones and Co., 1834. THE HUNTSMAN'S WIFE; OR, THE SWEETS OF TALLY-HO! (Dibdin.) [=?Charles Dibdin (c1745-1814)] WITH hound and horn, each rosy morn, Let bucks a-hunting go; While all my fancy dwells with Nancy, And her sweet tally-ho! Was she my wife, how sweet this life, In station high or low; 'Midst war's alarms, her music charms, So sweet her tally-ho! On heath or warren, though e'er so barren, With her 'twould fruitful grow, Make violets spring, fresh verdure bring, When she sings tally-ho! The stag flies o'er the plain so fleet, The hunters after go; No more they'd run, their sport be done, If she sung tally-ho! The music of her voice, I'm sure, Would charm poor renard's wo; The chase would cease, and all be peace, If she sung tally-ho! Let's toast her health, so free, my boys, Ere home that we do go; On May-day seen, my girl is queen, When she sings tally-ho! |

Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN BUCKS A HUNTING GO From: Jim Dixon Date: 08 Dec 07 - 03:03 PM Another version, from The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes, Vol. 16: The Poetry of Sport, edited by Hedley Peek, 1896: WHEN BUCKS A HUNTING GO How sweet is the horn that sounds in the morn When bucks a hunting go, When bucks a hunting go, While all my fancy dwells upon Nancy, I'll sing tally oh! The Fox jump'd over the gate so high, And the hounds all after him go, The hounds all after him go, While all my fancy dwells upon Nancy, I'll sing tally oh! How happy is my wife and I, When that we homeward go, When that we homeward go, While all my fancy dwells upon Nancy, I'll sing tally oh! Now since it's so, let's merry be, We will drink before we go, We will drink before we go, While all my fancy dwells upon Nancy, I'll sing tally oh! |
