Cat. #1131 (MFH #786) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on April 9, 1970
VERSE 1
As I walked early one mornin'
Heered one hollow, so clearly
I drew myself near, to see who was there
Goin' a huntin' so early
VERSE 2
It was a man from Bufinbuck gang
He had come to make one trial
He had hounds of his own, as good as ever known
In ole England or in Niler
VERSE 3
At th head of Merry Bog
He turned loose his hounds
He saw where th fox had been lately
His hounds they put in and after him did swim
On th rocks they did bare him forever
VERSE 4
Up stepped Mr. Short at the end of th sport
Come a cussin' an' a shoutin'
Said, well done my little dog, my little hound
You've got them in your power
It was Ringworm an' Cancer that had 'im
VERSE 5
There was Rescue an' Paler an Toler
Toler never looked behind 'im
There was heart setlin' down, Gillyfair an' Dangster
Was a part of the hounds that did bare him
