The Ferret, It Runs (Children's Song)

Chorus
The ferret, it runs, it runs,
The ferret of the woods, my ladies.
It runs, it runs, the ferret,
The ferret of the pretty woods.

It passed by here
The ferret of the woods, my ladies.
It passed by here,
The ferret of the pretty woods.

Chorus
The ferret, it runs, it runs,
The ferret of the woods, my ladies.
It runs, it runs, the ferret,
The ferret of the pretty woods.

It'll pass by there again,
The ferret of the woods, my ladies.
Guess if it's here,
The ferret of the pretty woods.

Chorus
The ferret, it runs, it runs,
The ferret of the woods, my ladies.
It runs, it runs, the ferret,
The ferret of the pretty woods.

The ferret is well hidden,
The ferret of the woods, my ladies.
Will you be able to find it?
The ferret of the pretty woods.

Other version

It runs, it runs, the ferret,
The ferret of the woods, my ladies.
It runs, it runs, the ferret,
The ferret of the pretty woods.
It passed by here,
It'll pass by there again.
