Rabbit Chase

Rabbit Chase - The New Lost City Ramblers

Well you know how the old lady is in the mornings

She gets up and she's feeling pretty bad

Says to the old man

If I had a rabbit this morning

I might feel a little better

Old man says to the old woman

I love you and anything

I can do for you I will

Sit down under the hill

And fetch me a rabbit

Sits down beside

And his ears prick up just like a Kentucky mule

Old man hasn't seen a rabbit in 40 years

Old woman hasn't seen one in fifty

So the old man calls down the old dog

To have some fun he says

Here here here

Here here here

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Can't you see

Well the old dog is sitting

Down behind the house in the sunshine

The way a dog usually does in winter time

Hears the old man calling

Lifts his old head to listen

He's old man giving him something like this

Ruff ruff ruff

Ruff ruff ruff

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Can't you see

The old man puts a lead on the backtrack

The old dog running so fast

You kind of hate to call him back

To give him a straight trail to see

How fast he could run in his old days and he says

Here here here

Here here here

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Can't you see

The old dog the town the man

He's giving him something like this he says

Ruff ruff ruff

Ruff ruff ruff

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Can't you see

Know how little children are in the morning

Don't know what's the matter with 'em

One little boy been sitting around all morning

All of a sudden he says

Ma what is it son

Pa's gonna catch a rabbit ma

Pa's gonna catch a rabbit ma

Pa's gonna catch a rabbit ma

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Can't you see

Here here here

Here here here

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Yonder he goes

Can't you see
