YOUNG BUCKS A-HUNTING GO.
FOR the following very musical hunting song I am indebted to
Mr. Thomas Hewson, of Roundhay. It was, he informs
me, commonly sung on the borders of Staffordshire, Cheshire, and
Shropshire, between 1820 and 1S40. The version of the song and
air is here given as it was sung by a follower of the Cheshire hounds
during that period.
