Oh I've got a dog got a good dog too And I keeps it him in me keeping To catch those hares that run by night While the gamekeepers lie a sleeping My dog and me went out one night For to learn some education Up jumped a hare and away she ran Right into some large plantation She had not gone so very far Before something caught her running "Oh Aunt! Oh Aunt!" she loudly cried Stop a minute your uncle's coming I took out my little pen knife And quickly I did paunch her She turned out one of the female kind How glad am I, I caught her I picked her up and I smooths her down And I puts her in my keeping I says to my dog its time to be goin' While the game-keepers lie a sleeping Away me and my dog did go Back into the town We took that hare to a labouring man We sold it for a crown We went into some public house And there I got quite mellow For we spent that crown and another one too Don't you think that I am a good hearted fellow Oh I've got a dog got and a good dog too And I keeps it in me keeping For to catch those hares that run by night While the gamekeepers lie a sleeping
