While Gamekeepers Lie Sleeping Lyrics

Oh I've got a dog got a good dog too
And I keeps it in me keeping
To catch those hares that run by night
While the gamekeepers lie a sleeping

My dog amd me went out one night
For to length some education
Up jumped a hare and now right she ran
Right away into my plantation

She had not gone so very far
Before something saw her running
So on and on she loudly cried
For the minute she heard someone coming

I took out my little friend knife
And quickly I did paunch her
She turned out one of the female kind
How glad am I, I caught her

I picked her up and placed her down
And I puts her in my keeping
I says to my dog its time to be gone
While the game-keeper lies sleeping

Away me and dog and my dog did go
Back into the town
We took that hare to a laboring man
We sold it for a crown

We went into some public house
And there I got quite mellow
For we spent that crown and another one too
Don't you think that I am a good hearted fellow

Oh I've got a dog got and a good dog too
And I keeps it in me keeping
For to catch those hares that run by night
While the gamekeeper lies sleeping
