The Foghorn Stringband - Old Molly Hare lyrics

rate me

Old Molly Hare what u doing there?

Sitting by the fireplace smoking my cigar

Jump back, jump back, daddy shot a bear

Shot him in the eye and he neva touched a hair

Old Molly Hard what u doing there?

Running through the cotton patch as fast as I can tear

Old Molly Hare what u doing there?

Sitting in the butter dish picking out a hair

I’d rather be here than to be over there

A whole mess of cockleberries tangled in my hair

The followin' collected by Robert Gordon from W.E. Bird

Cullowhee, NC October 28, 1925

Old Granny Hare what u doing there?

Runing through the cotton patch as hard as I can tear

Wheat bread cornbread or any such a thing

The old sow died with the measles in the spring

Old Granny Hare what u doing there?

Sitting in the corner smoking a cigar

The old sow’s leg or the old sow’s tail

Make as good a hammer as eva drove a nail
