letra de the black fox - janice burns & jon doran

[verse 1]
as we were out a-hunting
one morning in the spring
both hounds and horses running well
made the hills and valleys ring
but to our great misfortune
no fox there could be found
and the huntsman cursed and swore but still
no fox moved over the ground

up spoke the master huntsman
at the head of the hounds rode he
“well we have ridden the full three hours
but no fox have we seen
and there is strength still in me
and i will have my chase
and if only the devil himself come by
we’ll run him such a race”

[instrumental break]

[verse 2]
and then up and sprung like lightning
a fox from out of his hole
and his fur was the color of the starless night
and his eyes like burning coals
and we chased him over the valley
and we chased him over the field
we chased him down to the riverbank
but never would he yield
he’s ran down to the water
and he swam to the other side
and he laughed so loud ’till the greenwood shook
then he turned to the huntsman and he cried
“ride on, me gallant huntsman
when must i come again?
oh, never shall you want a fox
to chase a lonely plain

“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”
oh the men looked up in wonder
and the hounds ran back to hide
for the fox had changed to the devil himself
where he stood on the other side

oh, the men, the hounds and the horses
went flying back to the town
and hard on their heels came a little black fox
laughing as he ran
“ride on, me gallant huntsman
when must i come again?
oh, never shall you want a fox
to chase a lonely plain”
