Thread Name: Lyr Add: Big Eyed Rabbit
Subject: origin-lyr: Big Eyed Rabbit
I know there's been some discussion about this song in the DT. I'd like to look into more detail about the song(s)and also find some different versions of this song.

First I need help with Samantha Bumgarner's Big Eyed Rabbit found on Honkinfduck here:http://www.honkingduck.com/BAZ/honkingduck78s.php?qt=title&ap=10&tp=14&title=81


"Big Eyed Rabbit" by "Samantha Bumgarner & Eva Jones (or Davis)"
Columbia 129 - D Recorded: April 1, 1924 Issued: May 1924

Fiddle

Big-eyed rabbit, done hear them hounds
Yes oh Lord they're gettin' me around
Big-eyed rabbit, get there now
Yes oh Lord I'm gettin' there now

Fiddle

Big-eyed rabbit, getting in a race
Yes oh Lord he's getting' away
Big-eyed rabbit, get there now
Yes oh Lord I'm getting' there now

Fiddle

…….all shot down
Big-eyed rabbit, get there now
Yes oh Lord I'm getting' there now

Fiddle

….and the rabbit first one around
Yes oh Lord make a hole in the ground
Big-eyed rabbit, get there now
Yes oh Lord I'm getting' there now

Fiddle

?
Big-eyed rabbit, get there now
Yes oh Lord I'm getting' there now

Fiddle

…………….At my door
Big-eyed rabbit, get there now
Yes oh Lord I'm getting' there now



If anyone can fix this or already has the lyrics it would be appreciated.
