THE BELTANE CHASE SONG
traditional

I SHALL GO AS A WREN IN SPRING | Women
WITH SORROW AND SIGHING ON SILENT WING |
AND I SHALL GO IN OUR LADY'S NAME |
AYE, TILL I COME HOME AGAIN |

AND WE SHALL FOLLOW AS FALCONS GREY > Men
AND HUNT THEE CRUELLY AS OUR PREY >
AND WE SHALL GO IN OUR MASTER'S NAME >
AYE, TO FETCH THEE HOME AGAIN >

THEN I SHALL GO AS A MOUSE IN MAY | Women
IN FIELDS BY NIGHT AND CELLARS BY DAY |
AND I SHALL GO IN OUR LADY'S NAME |
AYE, TILL I COME HOME AGAIN |

BUT WE SHALL FOLLOW AS FAT TOM CATS > Men
AND CHASE THEE THROUGH THE CORN AND VATS >
AND WE SHALL GO IN OUR MASTER'S NAME >
AYE, TO FETCH THEE HOME AGAIN >

THEN I SHALL GO AS AN AUTUMN HARE | Women
WITH SORROW AND SIGHING AND MICKLE CARE |
AND I SHALL GO IN OUR LADY'S NAME |
AYE, TILL I COME HOME AGAIN |

BUT WE SHALL FOLLOW AS SWIFT GREY HOUNDS > Men
AND DOG THY TRACKS BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS >
AND WE SHALL GO IN OUR MASTER'S NAME >
AYE, TO FETCH THEE HOME AGAIN >

THEN I SHALL GO AS A WINTER TROUT | Women
WITH SORROW AND SIGHING AND MICKLE DOUBT|
AND I SHALL GO IN OUR LADY'S NAME |
AYE, TILL I COME HOME AGAIN |

BUT WE SHALL FOLLOW AS OTTERS SWIFT > Men
AND SNARE THEE FAST ERE THOU CANST SHIFT >
AND WE SHALL GO IN OUR MASTER'S NAME >
AYE, TO FETCH THEE HOME AGAIN >

AYE, AND I'LL COME HOME AGAIN. | Women
