It was three drunken huntsmen and nothing could they find
Until they came to a signpost and that we left behind.
The Englishman said, signpost, the Scotsman he said, nay,
My dad said, Pat it's a plum-pudding tree and the pudding's has blown away.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, hawk away
It was three drunken huntsmen and nothing could they find
But a frog in a well, my boys, that they left behind.
Frog, says the Englishman, the Scotsman he said, nay,
My dad said, Pat, a canary bird and the feather's has washed away.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, hawk away
Well all night they hunted and nothing could they find
But a dead man in the road, boys, and him they left behind.
A man, says the Englishman, the Scotsman he said, nay,
A monkey, says the Irishman, and his tail has cut away.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, hawk away
Well the next day they hunted and nothing could they find
But a ship in full sail and that they left behind.
Barquentine, says the Englishman, the Scotsman he said, nay,
My dad said, Pat it's a washing tub and the clothes hung up to dry.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, hawk away
Well all that night they hunted and nothing could they find
But an owl in an ivy bush and that they left behind.
An owl, says the Englishman, the Scotsman he said, nay.
It's the devil, said the Irishman and they all of em run away.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, hawk away
