1. One morning in the month of May, the fifth I now venture to say, John Simpson took his gun to try, some owls to Shoot to make a pye.
2.John, Death says John these owls cannot be, Hers Leveret hind legs from you to see, If they are suffered to be here, w'ot a leveret shall we have next year.
3 Know all intent upon their prey, there's one look out pop pop went they, he's down cries John my Sun I know, Went off but yours did give the blow.
4 Praise Lord says John make me delay, Have comes the other up this way, Let Fly did both and down she comes, says John the Old ones both are dumb.
5 The young ones we can spoil their nest, I am determined I will never rest, but shoot all owls that do come near, To spoil my game from year to year.
6. Three young two old was all the lot, To the lion lets go and have a pint, such a day of sport you not fear, will insure more game another year J.W. |
