Bonny Black Hare - Steeleye Span

Written by：Steeleye Span

On the fourteenth of may at the dawn of the day

With me gun on me shoulder to the woods I did stray

In search of some game if the weather proved fair

To see can I get a shot at the bonny black hare

I met a young girl there her face like the rose

Her skin was as fair as the lily that blows

Says I me fair maiden why ramble you so

Can you tell me where the bonny black hare do go

The answer she gave me oh the answer was no

But under me apron they say it do go

And if you'll not deceive me I'll vow and declare

We'll both go together to hunt the bonny black hare

I laid this girl down with her face to the sky

I took out me ramrod and me bullets likewise

Saying wrap your legs round me dig in with your heels

For the closer we get love the better it feels

The birds they were singing in the bushes and trees

And the song that they sang was she's easy to please

I felt her heart quiver and I knew what I'd done

Says I have you had enough of me old sporting gun

The answer she gave me oh the answer was nay

It's not often young sportsmen like you come this way

But if your powder is good and your bullets are fair

Why don't you keep firing at the bonny black hare

Me powder's all wet and me bullets all spent

And I can't fire a shot for it's choked at the vent

And I'll be back in the morning if you are still here

We'll both go together to hunt the bonny black hare
