Sorry for the extremely late reply, but this is how I would solve your
problem:
\version "2.2.0"
\score{ <<
\notes \context Voice=song \relative c'' {
\context Voice=instr {\key bes \major \time 6/8 \partial 8 f,8 | bes(d) f,
bes(d) f, | bes( d4 )~ d4}
\context Voice=song {ees8^"(Sing)" | d4 d8 c4 c8 | bes4.~bes4}
\context Voice=instr {f8 | bes(d) f, bes(d) f, | bes( d4 )~ d4}
\context Voice=song {ees8^"(Sing)" | d4 d8 c4 c8 | bes4}
}
\lyricsto song \new Lyrics \lyrics {A hunt -- ing we will go. A hunt -- ing
we will go. }
>>
}
The initial \context Voice=song (around everything) can be omitted in v2.3.
