German Hunter Song

German Hunter Song
3496

In forest and on heather
I take my daily pleasure,
I am a hunter bold, I am a hunter bold
To roam the woods unflagging
The wild game freely bagging,
Oh, that’s a joy untold, oh, that’s a joy untold,

Chorus-
Hall, hallo! Halll, hallo!
I am a hunter bold, haililo!
Halll, hallol Halli, hallo!
I am a hunter bold

The eagle swiftly flying
The snipe in zigzag hying
At my aim surely fall, at my alm surely fall
The deer with towering antier,
The wolf and screaming panther
Drop at my rifle call, drop at my rifle call
Chorus

At noon upon the mountain,
I seek a shady fountain
And at my meal recline, and it my meal recline
Of hunger I’m the winner
So I take a royal dinner
Without a drop of wine, without a drop of wine
Chorus,

So pass the hours brightly
So speed my footsteps lightly
Till sets the evening sun, tilt sets the evening sun
Thun homeward fondly turning
I meet hearts for me yearning
A happy, thankful man, a happy, thankful man
Chorus
