Here, I just found a better traditional song I wrote myself. I think I'll record it instead:

BONNY WHITE HARE
(trad arr Scrump; lyrics © Scrump)

On the 14th of May, at the end of the day
With me trusty old fiddle to the pub I did stray
In search of the craic with the company there
And hark to the song of the bonny white hare

I heard an old man there a-singing a song
On an old ukulele while folk sang along
Says I to myself, that's a fine melody
One day I will sing it myself, you shall see

And then the old man told a tale so weird
Of an old local legend that had me afeared
About a strange creature that lived in a lair
On the moor, 'twas the home of the bonny white hare

With ten pints of scrumpy inside me that night
I walked 'cross the moor in the pale moonlight
As I passed by the tor in the darkness I stared
And what should I see but the bonny white hare

This sight made me sober, and chilled to the bone
I took to my heels and ran all the way home
I never forgot what I saw that night there
And remembered the song of the bonny white hare

(instrumental break)

Now many years later, a much wiser man
To search for ideas for a song I began
The legend to haunt me and fill me with care
Was the song and the tale of the bonny white hare

I couldn't remember a note of the tune
So I took out me fiddle and started to croon
To forget the original tune was a pity
But I played a few notes and soon wrote a nice ditty

The story to me now was wholly unknown
I'd forgotten the words, so I made up me own
They told of what happened out in the night air
The night I encountered the bonny white hare

Now news of my song reached a man that I know
Who was looking for songs for his radio show
He said that's the song I'll put out on the air
The traditional song of the bonny white hare

I tried to explain that 'twas I wrote the song
And the end of the stick that he had was all wrong.
But he didn't hear me, he just said "Great chords!
We're putting this up for the next folk awards!"

Well what could I do, it was too late to change
My story is ended but it's very strange,
How I got the award for traditional track
But it's there on me shelf and I can't give it back.
