Black Fox Lyrics by Heather Dale

The Road to Santiago

0

As we were out a-hunting, one morning in the spring
Both hounds and horses, running well, made the hills and the valleys ring
But to our great misfortune, no fox there could be found
Our huntsmen cursed and swore but still no fox moved over the ground
And up spoke our master huntsman, the master of the chase
"If only the Devil himself come by, we'd run him such a race!"
And up there sprung like lightning a fox from out of his hole
His fur was the colour of a starless night, and his eyes like burning coals
And they chased him over the valley, and they chased him over the fields;
They chased him down to the river bank, but never would he yield
And he's jumped into the water, and he's swum to the other side
And he's laughed so loud that the green woods shook
Then he's turned to the huntsmen and he's cried:
"Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen
And when your need is greatest, just call upon my name
And I will come, and you shall have the best of sport and game!"
And the men looked up in wonder and the hounds run back to hide
For the fox, it changed to the Devil himself where he stood on the other side
And the men, the hounds, the horses went flying back to town
And hard on their heels come a little black fox, laughing as he ran
"Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen
And when your need is greatest, just call upon my name
And I will come, and you shall have the best of sport and game!
Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen."
