lyrics

Oh Bold Sir Rylas a-hunting went
All along and down-a-lea
Oh Bold Sir Rylas a-hunting went
Down by the river side
Oh Bold Sir Rylas a-hunting went
To catch some game was his intent
Down in the grove,
Where the wild flowers grow,
And the green leaves fall around.

He spied a wild woman sitting in a tree
Good Lord! What brings you here? said she
There’s a wild boar in the wood,
He’ll eat your flesh and he’ll drink your blood

So he put his horn up to his mouth
And he blew it East, North, West and South
The wild boar came out of his den
Bringing his children, nine or ten of ‘em

So Bold Sir Rylas the wild boar fell on
Oh, Bold Sir Rylas the wild boar fell on
He fought him three hours, all the day
‘Til that boar would’ve run away

Oh now you’ve killed my spotted pig
Oh now you’ve killed my spotted pig
Now there’s three things I’d have of thee
Your horse and your hound and your fair lady

Oh yes I’ve killed your spotted pig
Oh yes I’ve killed your spotted pig
But there’s not three things you’ll have of me
My horse, nor my hound, nor may fair lady!

So Bold Sir Rylas the Wild Woman fell on
Oh, Bold Sir Rylas the Wild Woman fell on
And he split her head down to her chin
You should’ve seen her kick and grin!
