[BANDLEADER]
Ye gentlemen and ladies fair
Who grace this famous city
Just listen if you've time to spare
While I rehearse a ditty
And for the opportunity
Conceive yourself quite lucky
For 'tis not often that you see
A hunter from Kentucky
[ALL]
Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky!
Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky!
[JACKSON]
But Jackson, he was wide awake
And was not scared of trifles
For well he knew what aim we take
With our Kentuck rifles
[JACKSON, BAND]
He led us down to Cypress Swamp
The ground was low and mucky
[JACKSON]
There stood John Bull in pomp
[BANDLEADER]
And here was old Kentucky!
[ALL]
Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky!
Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky!
Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky!
Oh, Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky!
