This is not my work. Asside from a few edits to fit it to the Elder Scrolls world, this is the work of Heather Dale's song titled 'Black Fox'. I was roaming youtube one day, and came across it. My mind was on the Elder Scrolls at the time so I made a few word edits to fit the Daedric Prince of the Hunt and proceeded to sing the thing non-stop for a week. I recommend looking up the original. Until then, enjoy my Elder Scrolls rendition. I see this being sung at taverns all across Tamriel.
As we were out a-hunting, one morning in the spring.
Both hounds and horses, running well, made the hills and the valleys ring.
But to our great misfortune, no fox there could be found.
Our huntsmen cursed and swore but still no fox moved over the ground.
Then spoke our master huntsman, the master of the chase,
"If only Hircine himself come by, we'd run him such a race!"
And up there sprung like lightning a fox from out of his hole.
His fur was wild with a tangled mane, and his eyes like gleaming gold.
And they chased him over the valley, and they chased him over the fields;
They chased him down to the river bank, but never would he yield.
And he jumped into the water, and he swum to the other side
And he laughed so loud that the green woods shook, then he turned to the huntsmen and he cried:
"Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen.
And when your need is greatest, just call upon my name,
And I will come, and you shall have the best of sport and game!"
And the men looked up in wonder and the hounds run back to hide,
For the fox, it changed into Hircine himself where he stood on the other side.
And the men, the hounds, the horses went flying back to town,
And hard on their heels come a little brown fox, laughing as he ran.
"Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen.
And when your need is greatest, just call upon my name,
And I will come, and you shall have the best of sport and game!
Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen."
Hope you liked it. Seriously though, look up Heather Dale's songs. I love them.
