The Huntsman Blows His Horn
The Huntsman blows his horn in the morn,
When folks goes hunting, oh!
When folks goes hunting, oh!
When folks goes hunting, oh!
The Huntsman blows his horn in the morn,
When folks goes hunting, oh!

Origins
This verse comes from The Fox Jumps Over the Parson’s Gate, one of Randolph Caldecott’s picture books, first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in the late 19th century. Caldecott’s books paired simple rhymes with lively illustrations, and this one was accompanied by a merry hunting scene, riders in bright red jackets.
The Fox jumps over the Parson’s gate,
And the Hounds all after him go,
And the Hounds all after him go,
And the Hounds all after him go.
