THE HARRIER MANS ANTHEM

THE HARRIER MANS ANTHEM 

In yonder vale there’s calling

The sound of the huntsman’s horn 

It’s the sweetest,merriest music 

To hear on a hunting morn 

Come horse,come hound 

To the welcome sound

The grey and the bay and all

We’re up and away at the break of day

To follow the cheery call

Tally ho,Tally ho,Tally ho,

(Chorus)

We’ll hunt the hare in the morning 

We’ll follow her free and fast 

We’ll hunt the hare in the morning 

And bring to bay at last 

The scent lives sweet in the valley

And the southerly wind will blow 

She’s up and away, we’ll hunt all day 

Tally ho,Tally ho,Tally ho,

What care we how the fast be going 

And ditches are yawning wide 

When our hounds give tongue in the morning 

They’ll waken the countryside

And if the run be a clinking one 

When the day and the hunt is o’er

We’ll gather all in some bright lit bar 

And take every fence once more 

Tally ho,Tally ho,Tally ho,

(Chorus)

We’ll hunt the hare in the morning 

We’ll follow her free and fast 

We’ll hunt the hare in the morning 

And bring to bay at last 

The scent lives sweet in the valley

And the southerly wind will blow 

She’s up and away, we’ll hunt all day 

Tally ho,Tally ho,Tally ho,
