In days of old, when "," the mighty, and the brave, An Admiral, bore the British flag triumphant o'er the wave, As faithful follower was found a "" in his pay, From whom descends the Forester we sing about to-day. He's a fine Old English Forester, one of the olden time.

Anon for orders at the hall "the Ranger" may be seen, As spruce as modern dandy, in his suit of Lincoln green, And should his "Mistress" depart the place that day, He proudly leads the cavalcade into the Queen's highway. He's a fine Old English Forester, one of the olden time.
