Lyrics

Got a rabbit in a log and I ain't got my dog How will I get him I don't know Come, get me a briar and I'll twist in his hair That's the way I'll get him I know
I know, I know, I know, I know That's the way I'll get him I know Come and get me a briar and I'll twist it in his hair That's the way I'll get him I know
Gonna build me a fire and I'll roast that old hare Roll him in the flames, so nice and brown Have a feast here tonight while the moon's shining bright And find me a place to lie down To lie down, to lie down, to lie down, to lie down Find me a place to lie down Have a feast here tonight while the moon's shining bright And find me a place to lie down I'm going down that track with a chicken on my back Soles on my shoes are nearly gone, wore out Just a little ways ahead there's an old farmer's shed And that's where I'll rest my weary bones Weary bones, your weary bones Your lazy bones, your lazy bones That's where I'll rest my weary bones Just a little ways ahead there's an old farmer's shed And that's where I'll rest my weary bones
