Tommy Makem - The Granemore Hare lyrics
Your rating:
One fine winter's morning, my horn I did blow To the green fields of Keady, for a hunt we did go We gathered our dogs and we circled around For none loves the sport better than the boys of Maydown And when we arrived, they were all standing there We set off through the fields boys, in search of a hare We didn't go far 'til someone gave a cheer Over high hill and valley, this wee puss did steer As she flew o'er thon hills, 'twas a beautiful sight There were dogs black and yellow, there were dogs black and white As she skipped the Black Bank and went driving once more Oh, that was her last look on the hills of Granemore In a field of wheat stubble, this wee puss did lie And Rory and Charmer, they did pass her by But, there where we stood at the top of the brae We heard the very last words that this wee puss did say No more o'er the green fields of Keady I'll run Or trip through the fields boys, to have a day's fun Or hear the long horn that Joe Toner did play Or go home to my den by the clear break of day You may blame Owen McMahon for bringing Coyle here He's been at his ould capers this many a year Saturday or Sunday, he'll never give o'er Only bringing strange dogs 'round the hills of Granemore
