Richie,

Here's the song as I sing it, derived many years ago from Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis' original 78, but as I don't have the original to hand I'm not sure how accurate it is. I may have patched and filled a bit. Take it with a grain of salt.

BUCK EYED RABBIT   Bumgarner & Davis,Columbia 1924 as remembered

Rabbit oh rabbit, I hear them hounds,
Yes, lord, lord, they're a gettin' their rounds.

Cho In there, right there, in there now,
       Yes, lord, lord, they're a gettin' there now.

Rabbit oh rabbit, your ears mighty red,
Yes dear lord, been a-jerkin' up my head.

You jump out and start to run,
Shoot you down with an old shotgun,

Rabbit, oh rabbit, your foot's mighty round,
Yes, lord, lord, make a hole in the ground.

Rabbit in the garden a-shiftin' sand,
'Fore tomorrow mornin' I'll have him in my hand.

Rabbit, oh rabbit, your ears mighty short,
Yes, dear lord, got one of 'em caught.
