    I
    As the Muskerry sportsmen assembled one day
    On the borders or Ryecourt so sprightly and gay
    And the hounds they were yowling and crying for fresh game
    Till they startled a fox in the captain's demesne
    Chorus
    Ry tally-ho sweet tally- ho
    Ry tally sweet tally Ry tally- ho
    II
    When Reynard was started he faced Castlemore
    A place where poor Reynard strolled often before
    To the heights of Kilmurry he then took his course
    And passed by the green fields of Warrenscourt
