With a hey, ho, chevy!

Hark forward, hark forward, tantivy!

Hark! hark! tantivy!

This day a stag must die.

The cordial takes its merry round,

The laugh and joke prevail,

The huntsman blows a jovial sound,

The dogs snuff up the gale;

The upland wilds they sweep along,

O’er fields, through brakes they fly,
