Steeleye Span

Dogs And Ferrets
Chorus I keep my dogs and I keep my ferrets I have them in my keeping To catch those hares that run by night While the game keepers lie sleeping My dogs and I went out on a cold night For to view the habitation Up jumped a hare and away she did ran Straight into a plantation Chorus She had not gone a long way in When something caught her running So loudly then I heard her cry For she knew the dogs were coming Chorus I took my knife all in my hand So quickly for to paunch her She was one of the female kind How glad I was I'd caught her Chorus Then I'll go down to some ale house near And I'll drink that hare quite mellow I'll spend a crown and a merry crown too And say "I'm a right good fellow" Aus Songtexte Mania
