Old Bangum

Lyrics

Old Bangum would a-hunting ride,
Darum darum darum.

Old Bangum would a-hunting ride,
Tilly ko.

Old Bangum would a-hunting ride,
His sword and pistol at his side,
Darum tilly ko ko.


He rode up to the riverside
Where he a pretty maid he spied.

“Fair maid,” said he, “will you marry me?”
“Ah, no,” quoth she, “for we’d ne’er agree.”

“There lives a bear in yonder wood,
He’d eat your bones, he’d drink your blood.”

Old Bangum rode to the wild bear’s den;
There lay the bones of a thousand men.

Old Bangum and the wild bear fought;
At set of sun the bear was nought.

He rode again to the riverside
To ask that maid to be his bride.
