The song is there described as "a comic song" written and composed by James Yorkston (of Scotland) and arranged by Edmund Forman. Because it is noted as prInted with permission of an EdInburgh firm, there was clearly an earlier version. Although the song is the unofficial anthem of DublIn and generally regarded as Irish, it was, In fact, written by a Scotsman. This outdoor performance was the culmInation of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each wInter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of sIngers from In and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt In six two-hour sessions and In the summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Als sie sich nun satt gefressen hatten, Setzten sie sich nieder, Bis dass der Jäger Jäger kam Bis dass der Jäger Jäger kam, Und schoss sie nieder. Als sie sich nun aufgerappelt hatten, Und sie sich besannen, Dass sie noch am lieben Leben war'n, Dass sie noch am lieben Leben war'n, Hoppelten sie von dannen. ========== Between the mountaIn and the deep valley there were once two hares sittIng eatIng up the green green grass right down to the ground When they had had their fill They sat down Until the hunter came and shot them down When they came back to their senses and realised they were still alive they hopped away.  Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
