    Taken down from Edmond Murphy, Magoola, by his son Timothy aged 12.

    You muses nine your aid combine, and I'll relate of hunting.
    Brave Captain Leader of Mount Leader, exceeds all other sportsmen for.
    Fishing, Fowling, cocking, grousing, hunting in due season.
    For steeple chase, foxhunt, or race all other gentlemen he headed.
    Chorus.
    Hark, Tally Ho, Hark Tally Ho, Hark Tally Ho we'll chase him.
    And Tallyho before we go we'll surely kill or airth him. (N.B. -airth = earth)

    If you were to rove in Cronody's groves on a fine November morning.
    Tis there you'd see grand quality a sight both grand and charming.
    All dressed in red with fir[e]y steeds the sound of Leader's horn.
    The cry of hounds with echo round and Reynard out before them.
    Chorus.
