poacher's night

from poacher's night by Tim O'Connor

lyrics

run little rabbit and you won't see me
standing in the shadow of the big oak tree
hide little fellow or you will be
caught in the meadow: cooked for my tea

when the full moon's bright
it's a poacher's night

hop little bunny to the dappled shade
don't you worry and you'll soon be safe
down in the burrow all warm and snug
out of the cold: fattening up

when the full moon's bright
it's a poacher's night

i'm a cheeky little chap you don't often meet
a tricky little thief with a vicious streak
a two-faced liar and a ladies man
a sneaky little plucker of the birds i am

when the full moon's bright
it's a poacher's night

a brace of conies on the grass
showed me where to trace their path
and leave prepared for when they pass
wicked little snares to break their backs

when the full moon's bright
it's a poacher's night

and i'll come back with the morning dew
to fill my sack with one or two
skin and salt and roast them through
boil little bones to make my soup

when the full moon's bright
it's a poacher's night

so run little rabbit and you won't see me
standing in the shadow of the big oak tree
hide little fellow or you will be
caught in the meadow: cooked for my tea

when the full moon's bright
it's a poacher's night
when the full moon's bright
it's a poacher's night
