Thornaby Woods in Nottinghamshire
                           Dm
Three game-keepers' houses stood 
three-square
 Em                    F          
About a mile from each other they 
C
were
      Dm                       Em 
Their orders they were to look out
           F
 for the deer

   C                 Dm
Me and the dogs went out one night
    Em                  F     
The moon and stars were shining 
         C
bright
             Dm                  
O'er hedges, ditches, fields and 
Em
stiles
              F                    
With my three dogs running close by
    C
 me heels
   Dm                       Em    
To catch a fat buck down in 
      F
Thornaby fields
C     G        C
Long, long the day

[Verse]
     C                   Dm
That very first night, I had bad 
luck
    Em                  F      
For one of me very best dogs got 
       C
shot
           Dm                Em
He came to me all bloody and lame
                F               
Right sorry was I for to see the 
 C
same
    Dm                Em         
And not being able to follow the 
F
game
C     G        C
Long, long the day

  C                        Dm
I looked at his wounds and found 
them slight
      Em                  F    
'Twas done by some keeper out of 
        C
spite
                  Dm              
I'll take a right stick all in me 
Em
hand
         F                      
And I'll search the woods till I 
 C
find that man
     Dm                      Em   
I'll tan his old hide, right well,
      F
 if I can
C     G        C
Long, long the day

     C               Dm
Then I went home and went to bed
    Em                F       
And Limping Jack went out in me 
        C
stead
                Dm             
He searched the woods around at 
 Em
length
        F                       
'Til he found a buck rough lying 
          C
dead the ground
      Dm                      Em  
'Twas my little dog that gave him 
          F
his death wound
C     G        C
Long, long the day

      G        C

He got a butcher to skin the game
    Em                  F      
And likewise another to sell the 
       C
same
               Dm                  
The very first joint that he 
      Em
offered for sale
       F                           
It was to an old woman who sold bad
 C
 ale

She had us all up in Nottingham gaol

The Nottingham assizes are over and 
past
    Em                 F          
And we three chaps got free at 
  C
last
              Dm                   
The bucks and does shall never roam
 Em
 free
                F                  
For a poacher's life is the life 
  C

A poacher I will always be
C     G        C
