Here's another Mister Rabbit song from African American traditions:

PETER RABBIT, HA! HA!
Peter Rabbit, ha! ha!
Stole my cabbage, ha! ha!
Caught him in the garden! ha! ha!
Sop that gravy, ha! ha!
Ain't he pretty? ha! ha!

Peter Rabbit, ha! ha!
Stole my cabbage, ha! ha!
Caught him in the garden, ha! ha!
Suck his bones,ha! ha!
Ain't he pretty? ha! ha!

Notations are given for this song on page #7. The song is listed as being sung "in a spirited manner".

The play directions are given as follows:

"All childen except two, i.e. the "Farmer" and the "Rabbit", stand in a large circle about a foot apart. They sing and clap throughout.

The "Farmer" is in the center and as the song begins, he chases the "Rabbit" who is outside of the circle in and out of the cirle between the singers until the "Rabbit" is caught.

Then "Farmer" joins the group, the "Rabbit" goes to center and becomes the "Farmer"; a volunteer "Rabbit" takes his place outside the circle and the game is resumed."
