With a whoop! whoop! whoop! and halloo!
With a blast of the bugle-horn!
With a twang, twang, twang, taulidi, O!
With a ting, ting, ting, tingle, O!
And a blast of my bugle-horn!
And thro' the woods we'll ride, brave boys!
With a blast of my bugle-horn.
The first we espied was a woman
A-combing her golden locks.
She swore she had seen sly Reynard
Among her geese and her ducks.
With a whoop! etc.
The second we espied was a parson,
And he was dressed in black.
He swore he had seen sly Reynard,
A-hung on a huntsman's back.
With a whoop! etc.
The third we espied was a miller,
And he was grinding his mill.
He swore he had seen sly Reynard
A-run over yonder hill.
With a whoop! etc.
The fourth we espied was a blind man,
And as blind as blind could be.
