the running fox - the young'uns lyrics

on yonder rocks there lives a fox and one crisp winter’s morn
he’s pr*cked up his ears ‘cos didn’t he hear the huntsman blow his h*rn
and far away the hounds did bay and reynard knew the score
for he must make good his escape from the jaws of death once more

so away he’s bound for safer ground and he’s left his den behind
through mire and weed and at great speed so no scent will they find
he’s made a rush for the bramble bush
and he’s leapt a dry stone while
and out across to yonder copse
where the nettle and grass grow tall

[chorus]
oh the hounds! the hounds! the hounds!
why won’t they let me be?
there’s many a beast can roam at will
so why, oh why, not me?

it’s out of breath he next did rest among the grass and trees
he’s gazed across the frozen moss his chasers for to see
a mile ahead a flash of red * the huntsmen in their coats
but the baying hounds his scent have found
and dampened reynard’s hopes

[chorus]
oh the hounds! the hounds! the hounds!
why won’t they let me be?
there’s many a beast can roam at will
so why, oh why, not me?
stay clear he will of freebrough hill
where they brought his brother down
that’s where they tore him limb from limb
and showed his brush around
but reynard’s sly and didn’t he fly over clarty moor and bog
where no man nor horse can make a course nor like wise can a dog

[chorus]
oh the hounds! the hounds! the hounds!
why won’t they let me be?
there’s many a beast can roam at will
so why, oh why, not me?

it’s through the mire breathless and tired he’s shaken off the hounds
far far away he can hear them bay but the h*rn no longer sounds
the men in red have gone instead to the jolly sailor inn
and reynard sits a l!cking his lips and lives to fight again
