Three men went a-hunting

But nothing could they find

Till they came across a mouldy cheese

And that they left behind

The Englishman said "mouldy cheese"

The Scotsman he said "nay"

"Bedad," says Pat, "its your grandpapa

And his whiskers are blown away



Three men went a-hunting

But nothing could they find

Till they came across a sailing ship

And that they left behind

The Englishman said "sailing ship"

The Scotsman he said "nay"

"Bedad," says Pat, "its a laundry tub

And the sheets are blowing away

Three men went a-hunting

But nothing could they find

Till they came across a milestone

And that they left behind

The Englishman said "milestone"

The Scotsman he said "nay"

"Bedad," says Pat. "its a plum pudding tree

And the currants are blown away"



Three men went a--hunting

But nothing could they find

Till they came across a tollgate

And that they left behind

The Englishman said "tollgate"

The Scotsman he said "nay"

"Bedad." says Pat, "its the end of the world

And the others have run away
