Beggars Opera - The Fox lyrics

The Fox: Right behind me as I rush across the meadow Hungry hounds are getting closer all the time I can hear the sound of horses on the gallop Don't they know that in gods eyes it is a crime City gents turn on their horses to go faster [....] has now become a battle cry Why, I am tired and my legs are growing weaker Could it be that I can see d**h going by At last I have found peace Alone in the dark But how long can I stay here For I hear them's bark Breaking from cover now Hearing the trumpet sound Hey Hissing and panting now Fleeing across the ground Hey Dogs coming closer now Knowing the time has come Hey Snarling and snapping, run Senses becoming numb Hey, hey, hey, hey Ahh… The Hunters: Gather round and see the fun Come and see what we have done Today's the day we've won our prize We cut the fox right down to size We got its brush, and leave its head Perhaps to make a little more We've got the rush and lots of laughs And smear our faces in its blood We go back and drink our fill We meet again for another k** We chase the fox right out of breath And smell again the fear of d**h
