There were three jovial huntsmen,
A hunting they did go,
They hunted and they hollered,

They gave their horns a blow.
Well look'e there now, well look'e there.
Then these three jovial huntsmen,
As I have heard them say,
They would go a-hunting
All on a summer's day,

All day they went a hunting,

but nothing they could spy,
but a sparrow in a gum tree,
and this they passed on bye.
Well look'e there now, well look'e there.
And on their way a hunting,
they took a swig of rum.
The first one drank,
the second one drank,
the third one he drank some.

All the day they went a hunting,
And nothing could they find
But a ship a-sailing with the wind.

and this they passed on bye.
Well look'e there now, well look'e there.
The first said it was a ship,
The other he said nay;
The third said t'was a summer house

Well look'e there now, well look'e there.
Now all night they hunted,
And nothing could they find
But the moon a-gliding in the wind
And this they passed on by.
Well look'e there now, well look'e there.

One said t'was the moon,
The other said nay;
The third said it was just a cheese,
With half of it cut away.
Well look'e there now, well look'e there.
