Who Told The Butcher

Oh, who told the Butcher

All about the Grey Goose?

Oh, it could have been the Poacher

Nobody knows

Or it could have been the Royal Coachman

Or Connemara Black

Just listen well to what the ladies say

And bring old Brownie back

And who told the Butcher

About the Lady Of The Lake?

It could have been the Queen Of The Water

Nobody knows

Or it could have been old Soldier Palmer

Or Teal and Black

Just listen well to what the ladies say

And bring old Brownie back

Come on, tie the damsels two to the droppers

And tie old Kate McClaren to the point

There's none so wise to the rise of the river

The Butcher's out there tonight

Come on, tie the damsels two to the droppers

And tie old Kate McClaren to the point

There's none so wise to the rise of the river

The Butcher's out there tonight

You know the Butcher's out there tonight

Oh, and who told the Butcher

All about the Grenadier?

It could have been the Teal and Green

Nobody knows

Or it could have been old Wickham's Fancy

Or Humpy Black

Just listen well to what the ladies say

And bring old Brownie back

Come on, tie the damsels two to the droppers

And tie old Kate McClaren to the point

There's none so wise to the rise of the river

The Butcher's out there tonight

Come on, tie the damsels two to the droppers

And tie old Kate McClaren to the point

There's none so wise to the rise of the river

The Butcher's out there tonight

The Butcher's out there tonight

The Butcher's out there tonight
