Who knows of this about 1968 song? What is it? Who did it? What record? Whoever helps me with this shall be richly rewarded from my private music stock. Desperate search. Send me an e-mail: snooderdog@statesville.net. I heard it on Bob Fass's night show, WBAI-New York, about 1968. It's haunting me. Here it be:

...Dry sun, early morning,
Gotta be the hottest time I can recall.
Pretty snake, rattly warning,
Gotta be the roughest time of all.

Down the hill, there's a rabbit running in a circle I have known,
Down below where the crazy rabbit runs.

Dry land has no water,
The land will bake and dry before my eyes.
Poison snake in the coolest corner,
Rolled up in a dusty disguise.

Down the hill there's a rabbit running to a trap that I have known,
Down below where the crazy rabbit runs.

Dry land looks so thirsty,
Land cracks open like a broken shell.
Hungry snake will show no mercy,
And then the land is still.

Down the hill there's a rabbit meeting with a fate that I shall know.
Down below where the crazy rabbit runs....

Father of roots, come see me now.
Father of roots, come see me now.
Father of dreams, come see me now.
Father of dreams, come see me now.
Come see me now. See me now.

Yeah, wish I knew, too. This is mostly just a refresh to keep popping this question to the top of the list.

Fascinating song (recitation?)! When you find it, I'll be one of those interested. Very.
