On yonders hill there sits a hare
Full of worry, grief and care
And o'er her lodgings it was bare
Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho
And o’er her lodgings it was bare
Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho

There came the huntsman passing by
On this poor hare he cast an eye
And o'er the bogs, halooed his dogs
Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho
And o'er the bogs, halooed his dogs
Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho

And now she’s gone from hill to hill
All for the best dog to try his skill
And kill the poor hare that never done ill
Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho
And kill the poor hare that never done ill
Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho

And now she's turned and turned again
Merrily as she trips the plain
And may she live to run again
Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho
And may she live to run again
Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho
