While Gamekeepers Lie Sleeping

lyrics

My dog and me went out one night
For to learn some education
Up jumped a hare and away she ran
Right into some large plantation

She had not gone so very far
Before something stopped her running
Oh and oh! She loudly cried
“Stop a minute your uncle’s coming”

So I took out my little pen knife
And quickly I did paunch her
She turned out one of the female kind
How glad am I, I caught her!

I picks her up and I smooths her down
And I puts her in me keeping
I says to me dog it’s time to be going
While the gamekeepers lie a-sleeping

Away me and my dog did go
Back in to the town
We took that hare to a labouring man
And we sold it for a crown

We went in to some public house
And there we got quite mellow
We spent that crown and another one too
Don’t you think I’m a good-hearted fellow?

Oh I’ve got a dog and a good dog too...
