Me Brave Boys The hounds are out and the morning is clear To the woods and the fields now provided How can ye, how well ye lie snoring asleep While we all on horseback do ride, me brave boys, Me brave boys, me brave boys, While we all on horseback do ride. Come fresh up me boots and saddle fair Without any longer delaying For the cry of the hounds and the sight of the hare Will drive all the care far away me brave boys, Me brave boys, me brave boys, Will drive all the care far away. See yonder the houndsman, he starts for the hoofs We have her all in full view And we'll never forsake her 'till we overtake her So leisurely let us burst through me brave boys Me brave boys, me brave boys, So leisurely let us burst through. No pleasure like hunting to pass a long day It covers the hills and the dales Then the flight to supper we'll dance and we'll sing All over a jug of brown ale me brave boys, Me brave boys, me brave boys, All over a jug of brown ale.
