The east is bright with morning light
And darkness away is fled
And the merry horn wakes up the morn
To leave his idle bed
Awake all men arise arise
Be merry as you may
For Harry our king is a-hunting gone
To bring his deer to bay
The horses snort to be at the sport
The dogs are running free
And the woods rejoice to the merry noise
Of hey taranta tee ree
Awake all men arise arise
Be merry as you may
For Harry our king is a-hunting gone
To bring his deer to bay
The sun is glad to see us clad
All in our lusty green
And he smiles in the sky as he rides so high
To see and to be seen
Awake all men arise arise
Be merry as you may
For Harry our king is a-hunting gone
To bring his deer to bay
Awake all men arise arise
Be merry as you may
For Harry our king is a-hunting gone
To bring his deer to bay
