INNOCENT HARE

or SPORTSMEN AROUSE

from the singing of the Copper Family



Sportsmen arouse, the morning is clear

The larks are singing all in the air

Sportsmen arouse, the morning is clear

The larks are singing all in the air

Go tell your sweet lover, the hounds are out

Go tell your sweet lover the hounds are out

Saddle your horses, your saddles prepare

We'll away to cover to seek for a hare



We searched the woods the groves all around

The trail being over, the game being found...

We searched the woods the groves all around

The trail being over, the game being found...

Then u-up she springs, through brake she flies...

Then u-up she springs, through brake she flies...

Follow, follow the musical horn

Sing follow, hark follow, the innocent hare



The huntsman blows his joyful sound

Tally ho, me boys, all over the down

The huntsman blows his joyful sound

Tally ho, me boys, all over the down

From the woods to the valleys, see how she creeps

From the woods to the valleys, see how she creeps

Follow, follow the musical horn

Sing follow, hark follow, the innocent hare



All along the green turf she pants for breath

The huntsman he cries out for death

All along the green turf she pants for breath

The huntsman he cries out for death

Relope, relope, retiring hare

Relope, relope, retiring hare

Follow, follow the musical horn

Sing follow, hark follow, the innocent hare

This hare has led us a noble run

Success to sportsman, every one

This hare has led us a noble run

Success to sportsman, every one

Such a chase she has led us, four hours or more

Such a chase she has led us, four hours or more

Wine and beer we'll drink without fear

We'll drink a success to the innocent hare
