The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 87

Tally Ho!

Tally Ho!

Fill up your bumpers, boys, drink to the old land,
Memories of dear olden times come and go;
Thouprh we have homes on the soil of this gold laud,
Still in our ears rings the wild "Tally ho;
Tally ho! Tally ho! Tally ho I Tally ho! "
The fox is abroad, and the ditches we'll dare,
The ponds and the ledges, the dykes and the hedges,
Are cleared by the sportsmen of gallant Kildare.

Fill up your bumpers, the Scot and the Biiton,
Can drink with the Paddies, our glasses o'erflow;
The day when I first put the bridle and bit on,
I'll toast to the music of wild "Tally ho!
Tally ho I Tally ho! Tally ho! Tally ho! "
The fox is abroad, and the ditches we'll dare,
The ponds and the ledges, the dykes and the hedges,
Are cleared by the sportsmen of gallant Kildare.
