Oh the rabbits in the bottom
kicking up the sand
Take my gun and shoot 'em
Fry them in my pan, fry them in my pan
Shoot a little rabbit down
Shoot a little rabbit down

If you see that girl of mine
Tell her if you please
Before she goes to make her dough
Roll up her dirty sleeves, roll up her dirty sleeves
Shoot a little rabbit down
Shoot a little rabbit down

Sung by Dan Tate of Fancy Gap, VA in the late 1970's.

RABBIT IN THE LOWLAND
As recorded by Brad Leftwich and the Hogwire Stringband on "Rascal Fair" 2011.

Rabbit in the lowland, sittin' in the sand, (2x)
Before this night is over, I'll have her in my hand.

Rabbit in the lowland, sittin' in the sand, (2x)
Before this night is over, I'll have her in my hand.

Rabbit in the Lowland, bluebird in the sky, (2x)
I hope I live forever; my true love never die.

Don't you hear it thunder? Don't you hear it roar? (2x)
Don't you hear me comin', boys, shootin' my 44?

Goin' up on the mountain, I'll plant me a patch of cane. (2x)
I'll make a barrel of molasses for sweet ol' Mary Jane.

Dark cloud a-risin', it sure do look like rain. (2x)
I'll hitch a ride to Bedford to see ol' Mary Jane.

Went up on the mountain and looked back down the plain.
It looked so dark and hazy, I'm bound to go again.

Rabbit in the lowland, sittin' in the sand, (2x)
Before this night is over, I'll have her in my hand.
