    The Lincolnshire Poacher
    When I was bound apprentice in famous Lincolnshire
    Full well I served my master for nigh on seven years
    Till I took up to poaching as you shall quickly hear
    Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year.
    As me and my companions was setting out a snare
    'Twas then we spied the gamekeeper, for him we didn't care
    For we can wrestle and fight, my boys, and jump from anywhere
    Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year.
    As me and my companions was setting four or five
    And taking them all up again, we caught a hare alive
    We caught a hare alive, my boys, and through the woods did steer
    Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year.
    We threw him over my shoulder, boys, and then we trudged home
    We took him to a neighbour's house and sold him for a crown
    We sold him for a crown, my boys, but I divven't tell you where
    Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year.
    Success to every gentleman that lives in Lincolnshire
    (Alt. Bad luck to every magistrate)
    Success to every poacher that wants to sell a hare
    Bad luck to every gamekeeper that will not sell his deer
    Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year.
