1
One fine winter's morn my horn I did blow
2
To the green fields of Keady for hours we did go
3
We gathered our dogs and we circled around
4
For none loves the sport better than the boys in the dell.
5
And when we arrived they were all standing there
6
We set off for the fields, boys, in search of a hare
7
We didn't get far till someone gave the cheer
8
Over high hills and valleys the sweet puss did steer
9
As we flew o'er the hills, 'twas a beautiful sight
10
There was dogs black and yellow, there was dogs black and white
11
As she took the black bank for to try them once more
12
Oh it was her last look o'er the hills of Greenmore.
13
In a field of wheat stubble this pussy did lie
14
And Rory and Charmer they did pass her by
15
And there where we stood at the top of the brae
16
We heard the last words that this sweet puss did say:
17
"No more o'er the green fields of Keady I'll roam
18
Nor trip through the fields, boys, in sport and in fun
19
Or hear the long horn that your toner does play
20
Or go home to my den by the clear light of day."ย
21
You may blame ol' MacMahon for killing the hare
22
For he's at his ol' capers this many's a year
23
On Saturday and Sunday he never gives o'er
24
With a pack of strange dogs round the hills of Greenmore
