The Hunt
Man.Machine.Industry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walked out on the front porch an' I hollered

An' them dogs
An' them dogs
An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'

An' them dogs
An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'

They knew we was goin' coon huntin'
They knew we was goin' coon huntin'

An' them dogs
An' them dogs

We started huntin', oh, we was havin' such a fine time

John Newbanks was a great American.
He didn't believe in shooting no coons outta no tree,
it was against his...upbringin'.
He taught us from first (?
)...from the day we were born 'til the age we could
keep listenin' to him. Give everything a sportin' chance

Give everything a sportin' chance

Whatever you do, give it a sportin' chance

An' them dogs
An' them dogs
An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'

We started huntin'
We started huntin'

An' them dogs
We started huntin', oh, we was havin' such a fine time

When you free a coon, hold the dogs and cut the tree
down, or either climb the tree and make the coon jump in amongst the dogs.

Give him a sportin' chance
Give him a sportin' chance

Whatever you do, give it a sportin' chance

An' them dogs
An' them dogs
An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'

Give him a sportin' chance

An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'

Give him a sportin' chance
Give him a sportin' chance
Whatever you do
Whatever you do, give it a sportin' chance

An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'

An' them dogs
An' them dogs
Give everything a sportin' chance
An' them dogs come out from under the house barkin'

Whatever you do
Whatever you do, give it a sportin' chance

Overall Meaning

The song "The Hunt" by Man.Machine.Industry associates the idea of coon hunting with the concept of giving everything a sporting chance. The song opens with the singer walking outside and calling for his dogs to join him to go coon hunting. The dogs already seem to know the activity they are getting into and bark energetically in response. The lyrics mention that the hunting party had a great time, but also stresses the importance of giving the hunted animal a sporting chance. The singer’s words in the chorus, “Whatever you do, give it a sporting chance” illustrate the concept that killing or capturing an animal should be done in such a manner that it is a fair competition between the animal and the hunter.

The song seems to convey the idea that true sportsmen take pleasure in the outdoor activity more than the hunt itself. The singer mentioned John Newbanks who instructed the hunting party “Give everything a sporting chance” which implies that he valued the process of hunting over the result. The song seems to be promoting the idea of ethical hunting where the hunted animal is given a chance to escape, thereby making the hunt more exciting but also respecting the animal’s life. The song "The Hunt" could be interpreted as a plea to protect wildlife and conserve natural habitats through ethical hunting.
