Lyrics

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 Chorus (after each verse): 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 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 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 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
