Night time blue moon
Don't wait too long
Don't go too soon
It's all you know
It's in your blood
When they come
You will wonder why
When you find out
It will be too late
Cottontail they're on your trail
Eat now oh cottontail
Eat all the leaves
And swallow well
But keep your wits
Make no mistakes
The owl's perched high
Above the snakes
When they come
You will wonder why
When you find out
It will be too late
Cottontail they're on your trail
Rabbit run rabbit run
Back to your hole
The dogs have come
The sun will rise
They'll shoot their guns
They'll mow you down
They'll skin your hide
And you are scared
But don't be afraid
' Cause you'll get there
But if you fall and if you're killed
I'll still love you my cottontail
