[Verse]
A good many gentlemen Ftake great deGlight
In Chunting poor GReynard the CFox
For the very best food he does Feat in the Gnight
And Clives upon fat Ggeese and Cducks
[Verse]
In Ashendon FCopse I did Glie
And I lived an exDtraordinary Grate
A-Ccracking the bones in young Flambs' Gtails
The Cfarmers they Gall did me Chate
[Verse]
Oh, for my lord's horses and Fhounds they did Gsend
And the Chuntsmen, they Gswore I must Cdie
Which made all the hair on me Fcoat stand on Gend
And caused Cme from me Gyoung ones to Cfly
[Verse]
All down Stony FLane they did Grun me
And I gave 'em a Dvery good Grace
When I Centered the woods, I did Frest Gthen
The Chounds they run Gforward and Cbays
[Verse]
All through the wild woods they gave Fchase and gave Ggame
And the Cgameskeeper Gsaw me go Cby
He chased me out onto the Fwide-open Gplain
It was Cthen that he Gfired at me Cthigh
[Verse]
All on stony Ffields they did Gkill me
And bloodthirsty Ddogs did me Gfollow
They Ctore me old coat all in FpieGces
Which Ccaused the glad Ghuntsmen to Chollow
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Oh pardon, dear huntsmen, for FI've spoiled your Ggame
And the Ckeeper has Gcaused me to Cdie
But I leave little brothers of Fmine to reGmain
That love Clittle else Gbetter than CI
[Verse]
And now that bold FReynard is Gdead
We'll go to The DDolphin and Gdine
Now we'll Cdip his fore-foot in a FbumGper
And Cdrink up his Ghealth in good wine
[Outro]
