There's a rabbit in the log and I ain't got my dog

How will I get him I know

I'll get me a briar and twist it in his hair

That way I'll get him I know



I know ( yes I know )

I know ( I surely know )

That's how I'll get him I know

I'll get me a briar and twist in his hair

That way I'll get him I know



I'll build me a fire and I'll cook that old hare

Roll him in the flames and make him brown

Have a feast here tonight while the moon is shining bright

And find me a place to lie down



To lie down ( to lie down )

To lay down ( to lay down )

Find me a place to lie down

Have a feast here tonight while the moon is shining bright

And find me a place to lie down



I'm going down the track and my coat ripped up my back

Soles on my shoes are nearly gone

A little ways ahead there's an old farmer's shed

That's where I'll rest my weary bones



Weary bones ( weary bones )

Lazy bones ( lazy bones )

That's where I'll rest my weary bones

A little way's ahead there's an old farmer's shed

That's where I'll rest my weary bones
