VERSE 1
Now, come all you jolly hunters
Who love to chase th fox
Who love to chase Bow Randers
Among th hill an' rocks
T' my hi-bow-bow, t' my hi-o-low
Long th merry stream
T' my riddle-diddle-dant
T' my riddle-diddle-dant
A rolling bow-wow dogs
A yank-fa-didem an' a bugle horn
A yank-fa-didem an' a diedy-o
