Dido, Bendigo Letra

As I was a walking one morning last autumn I overheard some nobles foxhunting Between some noblemen And the Duke of Wellington So early before the day was dawning. Chorus: There was Dido, Bendigo, And Gentry he was there-o Traveller he never looked behind him. There was Countess, Rover, Bonnie Lass, and Jover These were the hounds that could find him. 2. Well the first fox being young And his trials just beginning He's made straight way for his cover He's run up yon highest hill And gone down yon lowest gill Thinking that he'd find his freedom there forever. Chorus: 3. Well the next fox being old, And his trials fast advancing He's made straight way for the river Well the fox he has jumped in But a hound jumped after him It was traveller who straited him forever. Chorus: 4.

Chorus:
