Subject: ADD Version: Blues Chase Up a Rabbit (Henske)
There's a version up above that appears to be from Henske, but it doesn't follow the Henske recording on the High Flying Bird album. Here's my transcription of the Henske recording.

BLUES CHASE UP A RABBIT
(from Judy Henske)

When the blues chase up a rabbit,
Rabbit run one solid mile,
Poor little rabbit,
Cry like a newborn child.

Now, some like white and yellow,
Others prefer brown or tan,
I love my baby,
Just as long and as hard as I can.

Oh, I wish that I was a headlight,
Shinin' on the eastbound train,
I'd shine my little light on
Cool Colorado rain.

When the blues chase up a rabbit,
Rabbit run one solid mile,
Poor little rabbit,
Cry like a newborn child.
