1
John was not an evil man
2
Though far from perfect true
3
And he spent his days a rovin' though
4
He'd a wife and daughter too
5
He staggered home one drunken night
6
And paused beneath an oak
7
To warm himself and rest a while
8
He'd move on when he woke
9
And though he'd built a fire to ward
10
Off the evenin' chill
11
The embers slowly died from sight
12
The woods grew cold and still
13
John awoke to a huntsman's horn
14
Joooohn!
15
And the bayin' of some hound
16
Arooooooooooo!
17
I've stumbled in just before the morn'
18
To some noble's hunting ground
19
He saw the hound all pallid white
20
With ears a bloody red
21
And then he saw the Huntsman
22
And John was filled with dread
23
Run for your life John
24
The Wild Hunts comin'
25
Comin' after thee
26
Run for your life John
27
The hounds are callin'
28
Callin' out to thee
29
Take to the hills
30
Take to the woods
31
Hie through the brambles and see
32
If you can't outrun them
33
Until the morning
34
See if you can't get free
35
Well over hill through forest too
36
Through stream and thorny briar
37
The Huntsman and his hounds kept chasing
38
Never would they tire
39
And John he knew if he could last
40
Until the mornin' light
41
Why he would have outrun them
42
And made it through the night
43
But it was yet some hours until
44
He'd see the mornin' sun
45
And then he heard the hounds again
46
This chase had just begun
47
Run for your life John
48
The Wild Hunts comin'
49
Comin' after thee
50
Run for your life John
51
The hounds are callin'
52
Callin' out to thee
53
Take to the hills
54
Take to the woods
55
Hie through the brambles and see
56
If you can't outrun them
57
Until the morning
58
See if you can't get free
59
John made it back unto his home
60
And saw an awful sight
61
For it was all abandoned
62
O'ergrown in just one night
63
"Full twenty years have come and gone
64
since all me drunken days.
65
If I knew then what I know now
66
I'd 've changed my rovin' ways"ย
67
The Huntsman gave a soulless laugh
68
Mwa-ha-ha-haaa
69
John cried, "By all good men
70
I'll never let ya have me!"ย
71
Run John!
72
And the chase began again
73
Run for your life John
74
The Wild Hunts comin'
75
Comin' after thee
76
Run for your life John
77
The hounds are callin'
78
Callin' out to thee
79
Take to the hills
80
Take to the woods
81
Hie through the brambles and see
82
If you can't outrun them
83
Until the morning
84
See if you can't get free
85
And if you're there some moonlit night
86
When the woods grow cold and still
87
Why you'll see John the rover
88
They say
89
He runs there
90
Still
91
(slowly, hauntingly)
92
Run for your life John
93
The Wild Hunts comin'
94
Comin' after thee
95
Run for your life John
96
The hounds are callin'
97
Callin' out to thee
98
Take to the hills
99
Take to the woods
100
Hie through the brambles and see
101
If you can't outrun them
102
Until the morning
103
See if you can't get free
104
(at speed)
105
Run for your life John
106
The Wild Hunts comin'
107
Comin' after thee
108
Run for your life John
109
The hounds are callin'
110
Callin' out to thee
111
Take to the hills
112
Take to the woods
113
Hie through the brambles and see
114
If you can't outrun them
115
Until the morning
116
See if you can't get free
117
Run for your life John
118
The Wild Hunt's comin'!
119
Joooohn!
