Master Smith Says To John:
Do you know where we can find
An old ’are that will well please our mind?"
"Oh yes, Oh yes" says John
“Let’s go down to yonder mill
An old ’are there is
And I know she can run well.
And I know she can run well
And I know she can run well
An old ’are there is
And I know she can run well”

“When comely gives mouth
I would have you to mind
It will not be long ’fore an old ’are we find
She’s up, she’s up, she’s up
Away, away, away,
When the hounds they are in chasin’
There’s no time to delay
There’s no time to delay
There’s no time to delay
When the hounds they are in chasin’
There’s no time to delay
3
There’s no opening of gate
There’s no breaking down of gaps
When the hounds they are in chasing
There’s no time to do that
But over then we go
Make the best of our way
When the hounds they are in chasing
There’s no time to delay
There’s no time to delay
There’s no time to delay
When the hounds they are in chasing
There’s no time to delay”

Master Woodman on his Grey
He rides hard up to John
But he cannot overtake ’im or once in front
After tails of the hounds
Their jackets whip did crack
That’s the beauty of our huntin’
And away with ’em Jack
And away with ’em Jack
And away with ’em Jack
That’s the beauty of our huntin’
And away with ’em Jack
