A Merry Life Does The Hunter Lead! He Wakes With The Dawn Of Day; He Whistles His Dog--He Mounts His Steed, And Scuds To He Woods Away! The Lightsome Tramp Of The Deer He'll Mark, As They Troop In Herds Along; And His Rifle Startles The Cheerful Lark As He Carols His Morning Song! The Hunter'S Life Is The Life For Me!-- That Is The Life For A Man! Let Others Sing Of A Home On The Sea, But Match Me The Woods If You Can! Then Give Me A Gun--I've An Eye To Mark The Deer As They Bound Along!-- My Steed, Dog, And Gun, And The Cheerful Lark To Carol My Morning Song!
