Songtext von Dogs And Ferrets

I keep my dogs and I keep my ferrets I have them in my keeping To catch those hares that run by night While the game keepers lie sleeping My dogs and I went out on a cold night For to view the habitation Up jumped a hare and away she did ran Straight into a plantation I keep my dogs and I keep my ferrets I have them in my keeping To catch those hares that run by night While the game keepers lie sleeping She had not gone a long way in When something caught her running So loudly then I heard her cry For she knew the dogs were coming I keep my dogs and I keep my ferrets I have them in my keeping To catch those hares that run by night While the game keepers lie sleeping I took my knife all in my hand So quickly for to paunch her She was one of the female kind How glad I was I'd caught her I keep my dogs and I keep my ferrets I have them in my keeping To catch those hares that run by night While the game keepers lie sleeping Then I'll go down to some ale house near And I'll drink that hare quite mellow I'll spend a crown and a merry crown too And say "I'm a right good fellow"
