Three Men Went A-hunting Lyrics - Robin Williamson

Three men went a-hunting 

But nothing could they find 

Till they came across a mouldy cheese 

And that they left behind 

The Englishman said "mouldy cheese" 

The Scotsman he said "nay" 

"Bedad," says Pat, "its your grandpapa 

And his whiskers are blown away 

Three men went a-hunting 

But nothing could they find 

Till they came across a sailing ship 

And that they left behind 

The Englishman said "sailing ship" 

The Scotsman he said "nay" 

"Bedad," says Pat, "its a laundry tub 

And the sheets are blowing away 

Three men went a-hunting 

But nothing could they find 

Till they came across a milestone 

And that they left behind 

The Englishman said "milestone" 

The Scotsman he said "nay" 

"Bedad," says Pat. "its a plum pudding tree 

And the currants are blown away" 

Three men went a--hunting 

But nothing could they find 

Till they came across a tollgate 

And that they left behind 

The Englishman said "tollgate" 

The Scotsman he said "nay" 

"Bedad." says Pat, "its the end of the world 

And the others have run away
