- You sporting lads and lassies.
Come listen to my song.
The verses they are short and few
And I wont attain you long.
At Derryhyle the major shouts.
As reynard does appear.
And then the scarlet blazers they give a ringing cheer.

And next a group of horsemen
Come riding o'er the bray.
The major in the foremost rank
In eager for the fray.
The major sounds his trumpet.
And then you'll see the fun
As reynard tops the heather.
Like a rebel on the run.

O'er hill and vale and valley fair
And through each wood and glen.(continues on next page)- Collector
