There the fox and the hare, the badger and the bear and the birds' on the green-wood tree, there's the pretty little rabbits all engaging in their habits and they've all got a mate but me. From the Bob and Jacqueline Patten Collection Collected in Rockliffe / Wreay, Cumbria, England, UK John O'Connell from Baile Mhuirne, Co. Cork gave me the song, originally an English folk song and published in The Oxford Book of Traditional Verse. (Jimmy Crowley, notes 'Uncorked!')
