Reynard The Fox Lyrics And Chords
A song i learned at school and never sang it again. The youtube video is of Sweeney's Men.
Ewan McColl recorded it. as did The Wolfe Tones, I'm sure there are other versions in other country, this is the Irish version of the song. Also recorded by Fairport Convention and Julian Cope

Reynard The Fox Lyrics And Chords In D Major
On[D] the first day of spring in the[C] year ninety-[D]three There was great recre[Bm]ation was in[Em] this count[A]ry There was[D] gentlemen and [G]farmers over hills and dales and[D] rocks They[D] rode so joy[G]fuly in[A7] search of a[D] fox. [D]Tally-ho, hark away, tally-[A7]ho hark away Tally-[D]ho, hark away me boys a[G]way,[A] hark a[D]way When Renolds was started he was facing Tullamore With Arklow and Wicklow along the sea shore He kept his brush in view every yard of the way And it's straight he took his course through the main the street of Rosstrade Now Reynard, sly Reynard, he hid in a tree that night But they swore they would watch him until daylight And early next morning the woods did resound With the echo of horns and the sweet cry of hounds. When Reynard left the tree, boys, he faced to the hollow Where none but the hounds and the footmen could follow The gentlemen cried, "Watch him, watch him, what shall we do? For if the rocks don't stop him he will cross Killaloo." When bold Reynard was taken, his wishes to fulfill, He called for ink and paper and a pen to write his will And now you come to mention it they found it wasn't a blank For he gave them all a cheque on the National Bank. "To you, Mr Casey, I leave me whole estate And to you, Pat O'Brien, me money and me plate And I leave to you, your Ladyship, me brush, me mask and cap For you jumped walls and ditches and you never looked for a gap." |
