DIDO, BENDIGO



from the singing of the Watersons.



1. As I was a walking one morning last autumn

I've overheard some nobles foxhunting

Between some noblemen and the Duke of Wellington

So early before the day was dawning.



Chorus:

There was Dido, Bendigo, Gentry he was there-o

Traveler he never looked behind him.

There was Countess, Rover, Bonnie Lass and Jover

These were the hounds that could find him.



2. Well the first fox being young and

His trials just beginning

He's made straight way for his cover

He's run up yon highest hill

And gone down yon lowest gill

Thinking that he'd find his freedom there forever.



3. Well the next fox being old,

And his trials fast advancing

He's made straight way for the river

Well the fox he has jumped in

But an hound jumped after him

It was traveler who straited him forever.



4. Well they run across the plain

But they soon returned again

The fox nor the hounds never failing

It's been just twelve months today,

Since I heard the squire say,

Hark, forward then me brave hounds forever.
