The hound and the fox, oh what a sight

you can hear them run both day and night.

They glide through the woods and through the trees

so gentle and quick, just like a breeze.

The hunters sit and listen with respect and awe

hoping to see their hounds running without a flaw.

The first hound across, just who can it be

Everyone standing and trying to see.

Oh what excitement as the pack grows near

the barking and baying, music to the ear.

The fox is so smart as it turns and heads west

Now we'll see just which hound is best.

There they go, over the hill

With Cosmo and Lucky.... their bark is so shrill.

There goes Hercules, Zippy, FloydB and the Clown,

Raleigh, Gus, Ziploc, boy their going to town.

Diamond Liquor and Terminator, oh what a sight

Wild Liquor, HerculesB running with all their might.

Hi Tail, Red Clown, Magnum, let's see

Ace Liquor, Snell's Levi and Sportsman's Willie.

I see Mack and Hank and Bellhop too,

and Muzak and Pete, now what should we do.

The fast little fox, he's way out in first place

But coming up fast is Black John and Ringo Ace.

Rowdy, Clown Cat B. and Pippen and Zip,

are chasing that fox at a pretty high clip.

And then here comes that Hunter B.

Along with Ch. Bye Yall Janney.

Cucumber, Red Man and Diamond D.

Are all in the bunch with Sportsmans Willie.

Chief, Dakota and also Red Rock.

There's Gator and Outlaw and Woodstock.

White Man and Frog, Merlin and Wheelers Rock.

Boxcar and Lotto, and also Godwin's Doc.

All of these hounds are running quite a race.

It's sure gonna be hard to decide on first place.

Big Jim Cat Stewart and Tickle Me Elmo

And Stewarts' John Henry... oh look at em go.

Master Lock Hellums and Pepper and Jet.

Through the river they fly... without getting wet.

Mr. Colby and Hills Cummins just don't seem to stop

Doc Holiday and Two Way are way at the top.

Shilo, A.J., Ghost and Crown Royal

are running so fast their feet's not touching the soil.

Main Man and Copper and Scatman, oh my,

They're running so fast, it seems they could fly.

Handsome and Possum are hunting their prey

hoping they will score early in the day.

The race has been called, the points are all in.

And the biggest question is who's gonna win.

And the winner it seems.... To be perfectly fair.

Are all the hounds above... and their owners... who care.
