   The thrashing it been over and we to our hunt again
   It was there we got a hare my boys asleep in her den
   To carry her the whole day it was the least we might do
   To get our dogs together and to give them a view
   Fol the de de to my right fol the de.

   It was there in the meadow the hare we let go
   The viewed her oe'r the meadow and back across the brae
   And it was our brave old Connon's dogs that showed them the right ways.
   Fol the de de to my right fol the de.
