Lyrics The Ballad of the Foxhunter (Live at the Royal Albert Hall) - Loreena McKennitt
Lay
me
on
a
cushioned
chair
Carry
me
you
four
With
cushions
here
and
cushions
there
To
see
the
world
once
more
To
stable
and
to
kennel
go
Bring
me
what
there
is
to
bring
Lead
my
Lollard
to
and
fro
And
gently
in
a
ring
And
put
my
chair
upon
the
grass
Bring
Rody
and
his
house
That
I
might
contented
pass
From
these
earthly
bounds
His
eyelids
drop
his
head
falls
low
His
old
eyes
cloud
with
dreams
The
sun
upon
all
things
that
grow
And
falls
in
sleepy
streams
Brown
Lollard
treads
upon
the
grass
And
to
the
armchair
goes
Oh,
the
old
man's
dreams
are
gone
His
smooth
long
brown
nose
And
now
moves
many
a
feathered
tongue
Upon
his
wasted
hands
For
leading
aged
hounds
and
young
The
huntsman
near
him
stands
The
servants
round
his
cushioned
place
Are
with
news
sorry
wrung
The
hounds
are
gazing
on
his
face
The
aged
hounds
and
young
Fire
is
in
the
old
man's
eyes
His
fingers
move
and
sway
And
when
the
wandering
music
dies
They
feebly
hear
him
say
Oh,
huntsman
Rody
blow
the
horn
Make
the
hills
reply
I
cannot
blow
upon
my
horn
I
can
but
weep
and
sigh
One
blind
hound
lies
apart
On
the
sun
smitten
grass
He
holds
commune
with
his
heart
The
moments
pass
and
pass
The
blind
hound
with
a
mournful
din
Lifts
his
wintery
head
The
servants
bear
the
body
in
The
hounds
wail
for
the
dead
Oh,
huntsman
Rody
blow
the
horn
Make
the
hills
reply
Huntsman
Rody
blow
the
horn
Make
the
hills
reply
Huntsman
Rody
blow
the
horn
Make
the
hills
reply
The
huntsman
loosens
on
the
morn
A
gay
and
mournful
cry
