Lyrics

Jack Rabbit

Go jack-rabbit running through the wood You had a good night and you feel real loose Heard they got you going round the goosecreek shed Trying to fill your belly full of buckshot lead Go jack-rabbit get the cabbage patch Farmer left the back porch door on the latch Heard you coming and he got his gun Better go jack-rabbit better start to run Go jack-rabbit running through the wood You had a good night and you feel real loose Gunfire breaking up the peaceful night Jack-rabbit lying in the cold daylight
