The Hunters of Kentucky

Lyrics

[BANDLEADER] Ye gentlemen and ladies fair Who grace this famous city Just listen if you've time to spare While I rehearse a ditty And for the opportunity Conceive yourself quite lucky For 'tis not often that you see A hunter from Kentucky [ALL] Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky! Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky! [JACKSON] But Jackson, he was wide awake And was not scared of trifles For well he knew what aim we take With our Kentucky rifles [JACKSON, BAND] He led us down to Cypress Swamp The ground was low and mucky [JACKSON] And there stood John Bull in pomp [BANDLEADER] And here was old Kentucky! [ALL] Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky! Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky! Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky! Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky!
