''A-Hunting We Will Go'' is a British song written by Thomas Arne. It was written by Arne for the 1777 production of John Gay's ''The Beggar's Opera'' at Covent Garden in London.〔Boucé page 250〕 It was originally performed by Margaret Kennedy who was playing the role of MacHeath in the production. It later became a popular folk song and nursery rhyme. The ''a-'' is an archaic intensifying prefix; compare ''Here We Come A-wassailing/Here We Come A-caroling'' and lyrics to ''The Twelve Days of Christmas'' (e.g., “Six geese a-laying”). == Lyrics ==
