Chorus: There was Dido, Bendigo, And Gentry he was there-o Traveller he never looked behind him. There was Countess, Rover, Bonnie Lass, and Jover These were the hounds that could find him Well the first fox being young And his trials just beginning He’s made straight way for his cover He ran up yon highest hill And gone down yon lowest gill Thinking that he’d find his freedom there forever Chorus Well the next fox being old, And his trial nearly over He made straight a way for the river Well the fox he has jumped in But a hound jumped after him It was traveller who straited him forever Chorus Well they run across the plain But they soon come back again But the fox nor the hounds never fading It was just twelve months today, Then I heard the houndsman say, Hark, hark me brave hounds forever Chorus (Musik Text traditional)
