There’s a rabbit in the log and I ain’t got my dog 1 1
How will I get him I know 1 5
I’ll get me a briar and I’ll twist it in his hair 1 1
That way I’ll get him I know 1 4 1
[Chorus]
I know (yes I know), I know (I surely know) 1 1
That way I’ll get him I know 1 5
I’ll get me a briar and I’ll twist it in his hair 1 1
That way I’ll get him I know 1 5 1
I’ll build me a fire and I’ll cook that old hare
Gonna roll him in them 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 myself 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 with my coat ripped up my back
And the 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 (them lazy bones)
That’s where I’ll rest my weary bones
Just a little ways ahead there’s an old farmer’s shed
That’s where I’ll rest my weary bones
