In CThornaby Woods in DmNottinghamshire
EmThornaby Woods in FNottinghamshire C
Three game-keepers' houses Dmstood three-square
AEmbout a mile from each Fother they Cwere
Their Dmorders they were to look Emout for the deFer
CLong, Glong the Cday
[Verse]
Me Cand the dogs went Dmout one night
The Emmoon and stars were Fshining bright C
O'er hedges, Dmditches, fields and Emstiles
With my three Fdogs running close by me Cheels
To Dmcatch a fat buck down in EmThornaby fieFlds
CLong, Glong the Cday
[Verse]
That Cvery first night, I Dmhad bad luck
For Emone of me very best Fdogs got shot C
He came to Dmme all bloody and Emlame
Right sorry was FI for to see the Csame
And Dmnot being able to Emfollow the Fgame
CLong, Glong the Cday

[Verse]
I Clooked at his wounds and Dmfound them slight
'Twas Emdone by some keeper Fout of spite C
I'll take a right Dmstick all in me Emhand
And I'll Fsearch the woods till I Cfind that man
I'll Dmtan his old hide, right Emwell, if I Fcan
CLong, Glong the Cday
[Verse]
Then CI went home and Dmwent to bed
And EmLimping Jack went Fout in me stead C
He searched the Dmwoods around at Emlength
'Til he Ffound a buck rough lying dead the Cground
'Twas Dmmy little dog that gave Emhim his death Fwound
CLong, Glong the Cday

[Verse]
He Cgot a butcher to Dmskin the game
And Emlikewise another to Fsell the same C
The very first Dmjoint that he offered for Emsale
It was Fto an old woman who sold bad Cale
She Dmhad us all up in EmNottingham Fgaol
CLong, Glong the Cday
[Verse]
The CNottingham assizes are Dmover and past
And Emwe three chaps got Ffree at last C
The bucks and Dmdoes shall never roam Emfree
For a poacher's Flife is the life for Cme
A Dmpoacher I will Emalways Fbe
