Question

read the lyrics of this folk song, which was written in 1821 by samuel woodworth. then answer the questions that follow.
the hunters of kentucky
hail gentlemen and ladies fair,
that grace this famous city.
come listen, if you’ve time to spare
while i rehearse this ditty.
and for the opportunity
consider yourself lucky.
it is not often that you see
a hunter from kentucky.
now, you all did read in the public prints
how pakenham english general attempted
to make our hickory jackson wince.
as soon its scheme repeated.
but jackson, he was wide awake,
and he wasn’t scared of rifles things of little
importance.
well he knew what aim we’d take
with our kentucky rifles.
well, a bank was raised to hide our breast,
not that we thought of dying,
but that we always like to rest
unless the game is flying.
behind it stood our little band,
none wished it to be greater.
every man was half a horse,
and half an alligator.
well, the british found ’twas vain to fight,
where lead was all the booty,
and so they wisely took to flight,
and left us all this beauty.
so, if danger e’er annoys,
remember what our trade is.
send for a kentucky boy,
and we’ll protect ye ladies.

Explanation:

To determine adjectives describing the song's mood, we analyze the lyrics. Phrases like "fortunate," "lucky," "not often that you see," and the depiction of facing a challenge (fighting, using rifles) with confidence (e.g., "he wasn't scared of rifles...") and a spirited, determined tone (preparing to fight, protecting) suggest "spirited" (lively, determined) and "confident" (sure of themselves, ready to face the situation). The lyrics show energy in the call to listen, the readiness to fight, and the assurance in their abilities (e.g., "Well he knew what aim we'd take With our Kentucky rifles").

Answer:

Two adjectives describing the song’s mood are "spirited" and "confident".
