Looking for the words of a hunting song that seems to name the pack of hounds and has a chorus based on the last line (or more) sung two or three times with a rallentendo bit.
Any ideas?
I last heard it in the Waggon, Uppermill at Saddleworth Rushcart

Alex, do you have ANYthing else about the song. (BTW, it's rallentAndo, no offence.)

Do you mean:
"There was Dido, Bendigo, Gentry he was there-o
Traveller he never looked behind him..."?
You'll find that one here.

Sorry, that wasn't it. Might have had follow the horn in the chorus??
I appreciate it's like a needle in a haystack with so little to go on.
Never was much good at italian Peace.
Cheers

Ah, sounds like "The Echoing Horn" (lovely song), which can be found here.
Failing that, I'll give up and hand over to someone else!

Well done sir.
Nothing like my original twaddle - the effect ale has on memory.
Many thanks

Glad to have been of service. Now sing it as loud as you bloomin' well can!

Echoing Horn doesn't quite fit the description - I thought it might be Swarthfell Rocks, which I've heard Rob Malaney sing at Saddleworth.. ?
