If Doctor Mack no more enjoys the burden of me song, sir

I’ll tell you the like the priest enjoys is constitution strong, sir

It’s his delight to drink all night his cares in punch to drown, sir

And in the morn to view the horn and Tallyho the hounds, sir

And tallyho, and tallyho, and tallyho the hounds sir

And in the morn to view the horn and Tallyho the hounds sir

If every day he can avoid to dine off boil and roast, sir

And then as great as any lord he will drink his favourite toast. Sir

He laughs and winks at them that drinks and them that are not bound, sir

And he lifts his glass and lets it pass to tallyho the hounds, sir

And tallyho, and tallyho, and tallyho the hounds sir

He lifts his glass and lets it pass to tallyho the hounds, sir

And every time he goes to mass the priest puts on his boots, sir

And if a fox that way should chance he will follow in pursuit, sir

He nimbly leaps o’er hedge and ditch to him there are no bounds, sir

And if he can he’ll lead the van to tallyho the hounds sir

And tallyho, and tallyho, and tallyho the hounds sir

And if he can he’ll lead the van to tallyho the hounds sir

Now it’s oft been done since Herod’s day as the priest was going to mass, sir

He heard the music of the hounds and he saw bold Reynard pass, sir

He dropped his book his flock forsook he threw away his gown, sir

He mounted his horse to hunt the fox and tallyho the hounds sir

And tallyho, and tallyho, and tallyho the hounds sir

He mounted his horse to hunt the fox and tallyho the hounds sir

Now it’s oft indeed a pair to wed bold Reynard chanced to view, sir

So he flung his surplice o’er his head and bad’ the pair adieu, sir

They both did pray for him to stay for they were but half-bound, sir

So he said that night to bed they might and tallyho the hounds, sir

And tallyho, and tallyho, and tallyho the hounds sir

So he said that night to bed they might and tallyho the hounds, sir
