Young Bucks a-Hunting Go How sweet is the horn that blows in the morn, Young bucks a-hunting go; How sweet is the horn that blows in the morn, Young bucks a-hunting go, You bucka a-hunting go; All my fancy dwells upon Nancy, While I sing Tally-ho! The fox leaped over the hedges so high, The hounds all after him go; The fox leaped over the hedges so high, The hounds all after him go, The hounds all after him go; All my fancy dwells upon Nancy, While I sing Tally-ho! How sweet is my home, my low, little cot, Let my station be high or low; How sweet is my home, my low, little cot, Let my station be high or low, Let my station be high or low; All my fancy dwells upon Nancy, While I sing Tally-ho!
