and four,
And a petticoat on the box.
That box is his home, his teams are his pride,
And he ne'er feels downcast or forlorn,
When he lists to the musical sound of the bars,
And the tune from the shooter's horn.
When he lists, &c.
I have sung of the joys one feels on a Coach,
And the beauty there is in a team,
So let us all hope they may ne'er be destroyed
By the rascally railroads and steam.
There are still some good friends who'll stick by the old trade,
And who truly their absence would mourn,
"So here's a health to the Dragsman, success to the bars,
And the Guard who blows his horn."
So here's a health, &c.
_Tune--"The Queen, God bless her."_
1.
See that splendid fast Coach, well-named "TALLY HO,"
With prads that can come the long trot;
Do their twelve miles an hour--like flashes they go,
Spinning smoothly along as a top.
2.
With _Ward_ and _John Hex_, or _Hardcastle_ and _Judd_,
How devoted they are to the fair;
In their vests there you find the red rose in the bud,
Perfuming the Summer soft air.
Tally Ho, &c., &c.
3.
Four within and twelve out, see they usually start,
And the horn sounding right merrily;
Good humour and glee do these gay lads impart,
And their management's right to a T.
4.
But, how shall we grieve, when the fam'd "Tally Ho,"
Shares the fate of those now long gone by?
Yet--we'll toast its fond mem'ry wherever we go,
For the sound of its name shall ne'er die.
Tally Ho, &c., &c.
