A tune for dancing known as early as the first part of the 16th century. The verses sunge here come from the time of
Henry VIII. A “hunt's up” came to be the name given to any tune intended to arouse in the morning. The old Christmas
good luck visiting custom in Cumberland, Westmoreland and the Isle of Man was known as “hunsupping”, doubtless
due to the combination of music, cacophany and the unsociable hours of the visit.

when your daughter fell at
the double oxer, I’m afraid
