Can't you see yon turtle dove
Flies from pine to pine,
Mourning for his own true love
As I, my dear, for mine, O mine,
As I, my dear, for mine.

Raccoon has a bushy tail,
Possum's tail is bare,
Rabbit ain't got no tail at all,
Just a little bitty bunch of hair, back there,
Little bitty bunch of hair.

The latter is clearly stolen from "Bile That Cabbage Down".
