Verse 1:

A southerly wind and a cloudy sky

Proclaims of a hunting morning

Before the sun rises away we'll fly

Away from our drowsy beds scorning

Verse 2:

To horses, brave boys, and away

All over the hills adorning

The face of all nature looks bright and gay

It's a beautiful hunting morning

Verse 3:

Hark, Hark, forward

Ta rah rah, ta rah rah, ta rah

Hark, Hark, forward

Ta rah rah, ta rah rah, ta rah
