Oh, bold Sir Rylas a-hunting went
All along and down a lea
Oh, bold Sir Rylas a-hunting went
Down by the riverside
Oh, bold Sir Rylas a hunting went
To catch some game was his intent
Down in the grove, where the wildflowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
Oh, bold Sir Rylas a-hunting went
All along and down a lea
Oh, bold Sir Rylas a-hunting went
Down by the riverside
Oh, bold Sir Rylas a hunting went
To catch some game was his intent
Down in the grove, where the wildflowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
So he spied a wild woman sitting in a tree
All along and down a lea
Good lord what brings you here says she
Down by the riverside
There's a wild boar in the wood
He'll eat your flesh and he'll drink your blood
Down in the grove, where the wildflowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
So he put his horn up to his mouth
All along and down a lea
And he blew it East North West and South
Down by the riverside
The wild boar came out of his den
Bringing his children, nine or ten of them
Down in the grove, where the wildflowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
So bold Sir Rylas the wild boar fell on
All along and down a lea
And bold Sir Rylas the wild boar fell on
Down by the riverside
And he fought him three hours of the day
Till that boar would have run away
Down in the grove, where the wildflowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
Oh now you've killed my spotted pig
All along and down a lea
Oh now you've killed my spotted pig
Down by the riverside
Now there's three things I'd have of thee
Your horse and your hound and your fair lady
Down in the grove, where the wildflowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
Oh yes I've killed your spotted pig
All along and down a lea
Oh yes I've killed your spotted pig
Down by the riverside
But there's not three things you'll have of me
My horse nor my hound nor my fair lady
Down in the grove, where the wildflowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
So bold Sir Rylas the wild woman fell on
All along and down a lea
And bold Sir Rylas the wild woman fell on
Down by the riverside
And he split her head down to her chin
You should have seen her kick and grin
Down in the grove, where the wildflowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
Oh down in the grove where the wild flowers grow
And the green leaves fall all around
