INDIAN SPORTING SONGS. 



HURRAH FOR THE SPUR AND THE SPEAR ! 



Tune 1 Hurrah for the Bonnets o' Blue !' 



Here's a bumper to spur and to spear, 



A bumper to challenge a song, 

 A bumper to those who, where'er the boar goes, 



Are spearing and spurring along ! 

 Tis good to be steady and cool, 



Tis better to dare than to doubt ; 

 'Tis best to be clear of the funks in the rear, 

 And be always thrown in than thrown out. 

 Then hurrah for the spur and the spear! 



Hurrah for the zest of my song ! 

 Hurrah for all those, who where'er the boar goes, 

 Are spearing and spurring along !
