Abraham Bailey had 3 sons, blow your horn center & he is throuh the wild woods gone, just like a jovial hunter There is a wild boar in this wood, blow your horn center He slew the Lord & his 40 men, just like a jovial hunter.

If this is the song your looking for ,I got it from Peggy Seeger about 20 years ago, I don't know if she's recorded it. It's called "Wild Boar" a version of Sir Lionel, Child #18
