W: W:2 W:Now when we go in boys good luck to us all W:Our guns they do rattle and the pheasants do fall W:But in less than ten minutes twelve keepers we did spy W:'Get you gone you bold poachers, how dare you draw nigh?' W: W:3 W:Says one to the other 'Now what shall we do?' W:Says one to the other 'We all will stand true.' W:So they did agree to all be as one W:And fight those twelve keepers 'til the battle was won.
