Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One day I walked the roads and crossed a field to go
By where the hounds ran hard
And on the master raced, behind the hunters chased
To where the path was barred
[Verse 2]
One fine young lady's horse
Refused the fence to clear
I unlocked the gate but she did wait
Until the pack had disappeared
[Verse 3]
Crop handle carved in bone sat high upon a throne
Of finest English leather
The queen of all the pack, this joker raised his hat
And talked about the weather
[Verse 4]
All should be warned about
This high born hunting girl
She took this simple man's downfall in hand
I raised the flag that she unfurled
[Verse 5]
Boot leather flashing and spur necks the size of my thumb
This high born hunter had tastes as strange as they come
Come
[Verse 6]
Unbridled passion I took the bit in my teeth
Her standing over me on my knees underneath
Underneath
[Verse 7]
My lady be discrete I must get to my feet
And go back to the farm
Whilst I appreciate you are no deviate
I might not do some harm
[Verse 8]
I'm not inclined to act so refined
If that's how it goes
Oh, high born hunting girl
I'm just a normal low born so and so
