Saturday Lyrics: D'ye Ken John Peel?

D'ye ken John Peel with his coat so gay,

D'ye ken John Peel at the break of day,

D'ye ken John Peel when he's far away,

With his hounds and his horn in the morning.

For the sound of his horn brought me from my bed

And the cry of his hounds which he oft times led,

Peel's 'view hullo' would awaken the dead

Or the fox from his lair in the morning.

Yes I ken John Peel and Ruby too

Ranter and Ringwood and Bellman and True,

From a find to a check, from a check to a view

From a view to a death in the morning.

Then here's to John Peel with my heart and soul

Let's drink to his health, let's finish the bowl,

We'll follow John Peel through fair and through foul

If we want a good hunt in the morning.
