Hark for'ard, hark for'ard tan-t-ivy' with a hey, ho chivey Hark for'ard, hark for'ard tan-t-ivy' Hark for'ard, hark for'ard Hark for'ard, hark for'ard hark hark hark tan-t-ivy'tan-t-ivy'tan-t-ivy' Arise the burden of their song This day a stag must die This day a stag must die This day a stag must die The cordial takes its merry round the laugh and joke prevail the huntsman blows a jovial sound the dogs snuff up the gale the upland winds they sweep along over fields, thro' brakes they fly the game is roused true the song This day a stag must die with a hey, ho chivey! Hark for'ard, hark for'ard tan-t-ivy' with a hey, ho chivey Hark for'ard, hark for'ard tan-t-ivy' Hark for'ard, hark for'ard Hark for'ard, hark for'ard hark hark hark tan-t-ivy'tan-t-ivy'tan-t-ivy' the game is roused true the song This day a stag must die This day a stag must die This day a stag must die |
