[Intro]
D   A  E  A
[Verse 1]
My Dname it is Bold AReynolds, I was Eborn near Bonfire AHillD  
That was many Ayears ago, but BmI remember Estill
My Dbrothers and my Asisters, as Dwe played near the Eden
With Dne'er a care in Aall the world, my Elife was easy AthenE  A  
[Verse 2]
When DI was scarcely Anine months old, I Efirst met with the AhoundsD  
I heard their voices Athrough the wood as BmI came above Eground
I Dfound it very Aeasy to Dlose them in my Ewake
I Dwandered many Amiles that day, it Ewas to prove my AfateD  A  E  A  
[Verse 3]
While DI was on that Ajourney, I Emet her in a AcopseD  
She had a handsome, Athick red coat, Bmstraight'way my heart was Elost
We Dspent that year toAgether, had Dseven cubs all Etold
I Dthank the hounds for Asending me uEpon that distant AroadD  A  E  A  
[Verse 4]
My Dmate and I we Astayed together Emany seasons AmoreD  
Pheasants in the Awintertime, we Bmalways had in Estore
And Din the springtime AI worked hard to Dfeed the newborn Eyoung
DHunting through the Ashort, chill nights unEtil the rising AsunE  A  
[Verse 5]
And Dmany times when AI was stalking Erabbits on my Aown
I Dheard the distant Ahunting horn that Bmcalled the stragglers Ehome
At Dtimes the hounds would Afollow me, but DI would have my Efun
ADcross the fields and Ameadows, I'd Egive them a good ArunD  A  E  A  
[Verse 6]
The Dyears have passed, my Avixen died, and EI am on my Aown
My Dlegs are tired, my Acoat is rough and Bmall my seed is Esown
I Ddo not wish a Alingering death, DI'll meet the hounds aEgain
And Dtake them on a Afinal chase, once Emore they'll serve my AendD  A  E  A  
[Verse 7]
My Dname it is Bold AReynolds, I was Eborn near Bonfire AHillD  
That was many Ayears ago, but BmI remember Estill
My Dvixen and my Ayoung cubs, as Dwe played here in the Eden
But Dnow I bid you Aall farewell, my Elife is at an AendD  A  E  A

With ne'er a care in all the world, my life was easy then

I wandered many miles that day, it was to prove my fate
