Mouresque/London Pride/So Selfish Runs the Hare/
Maid of the Mill/Sheriff's Ride
[Trad. arr. Simon Nicol / Martin Carthy / Ashley Hutchings]
Oh, so selfish runs the hare
And so cunning runs the fox. Who would think this little calf Would grow to a noble ox? To live among the briars And to run among the thorns, And die the death that his father did With a large pair of horns. Chorus:
Horns, large horns,
Horns, large horns, And die the death that his father did With a large pair of horns. This medley of five Morris tunes was
recorded in 1973 for the album
Martin Carthy sings the tune in the
middle, So Selfish Runs the Hare.
