lyrics

1 I’ve got a dog and a good dog too
I keeps him in my keeping
For to hunt the are that runs by night
While the gamekeepers lie sleeping

2 Me and my dog went out one night
To learn some education
Up jumped a hare and away she ran
Right into a large plantation

3 She had not gone but very far
When something stopped her running
And in one bound my dog brought her down
“Wait a minute your Uncle’s coming”

4 So I took out my old penknife
And so quickly I did paunch her
She turned out one of the female kind
How glad am I that I caught her

5 So I picked her up and I smoothed her down
And put her in my keeping
Says to me dog “we must be away
For I hear the gamekeepers a-creeping”

6 So me and me dog crept out
Back into the old town
I showed her to a labouring man
I sold her for a crown

7 Then we went to some public house
And there we got right mellow
For I spent that crown and another one too
Don’t you think I’m a kind hearted fellow

8 I’ve got a dog and a good dog too
I keeps him in my keeping
For to hunt the are that runs by night
While the gamekeepers lie sleeping
