It was three drunken huntsmen
And nothing could they find
But a pig by the roadside,
And that they left behind.
“Pig,” says Alan Robinson
Cookie he says “Nay”,
“An elephant,” says Carbuncle
“And his trunk is cut away”.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, away, hawk away!
It was three drunken huntsmen
And nothing could they find
But a frog in a well
And that they left behind.
“Frog,” says Al Robinson
Cookie he says “Nay”,
“A canary,” says Carbuncle
“And his feathers have washed away”.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, away, hawk away!
It was three drunken huntsmen
And nothing could they find
But a hedgehog in the lane
And that they left behind.
“Hedgehog,” says Al Robinson
Cookie he says “Nay”,
“A pincushion,” says Carbuncle
“With the pins stuck in the wrong way”.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, away, hawk away!
It was three drunken huntsmen
And nothing could they find
But a barn in a meadow
And that they left behind.
“Barn,” says Alan Robinson
Cookie he says “Nay”,
“A church,” says Carbuncle
“And the steeple’s blown away”.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, away, hawk away!
Well they hunted and they hunted
And nothing could they find
But a dead man in a ditch
And him they left behind.
“Man,” says Alan Robinson
Cookie he says “Nay”,
“A monkey,” says Carbuncle
“And his tail is chopped away”.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, away, hawk away!
Well all the night they hunted
And nothing could they find
But an owl in an ivy bush
And that they left behind.
“Owl,” says Alan Robinson
Cookie he says “Nay”,
“It’s the devil!” cries Carbuncle
And they all of ’em run away.
Tally ho, hawk away, my boys, away, hawk away!

This has been a hard year as a social worker I recognise that I am not facing the reality of the saving of lives and I despair at how the government have treated our nhs people. I have been responding to the needs and crisis faced by children and young people in care . Carers with health vulnerability with challenging teens who won’t follow the rules- risks there create anxiety, carers of children who have been abused and traumatised- limited services - songs like this keep me going thanks maureenb
