_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] In the lowlands [F] of Cragendare lives a white hare,
As swift as the swallow that flies through the [G] air.
He may tramp the world over, but none [Dm] can compare
[Bb] To the pride of our [F] Cragendare, that mawny white hare.
One clear autumn morning, as you may suppose,
O'er the red golden sun or the [C] green mountain rose,
[Gm] Barney Conway come [Am] down and he did declare,
[Bb] All this day I'll put an end to the bonny white hare.
[C] So he searched through the lowlands [Bb] and down through the glens,
All among the wild ditches where [C] the white hare had dens.
Till at last [Dm] come down [F] o'er the heather so fair,
From behind the wild, so loud jumps the white hare.
Bang, bang went his guns [Bb] and his dogs asleep too,
[F] As swift as the wind o'er the green [C] mountain slew.
[Dm] But his dog soon came [A] back and it made Barney [F] sigh,
For he knew that the [Bb] white hare had bid him goodbye.
_ [C] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Dm] Now where some jolly sportsman down here from Comerodde,
From [F] Cluckstown, Cumcum, and [C] likewise the moor,
[D] With our pets the green grey [F] hounds we've travelled from far,
And we've conned Barney Cragendare in our fine Malta car.
[Dm] So away to the [F] lowlands his huntsman did [Dm] go,
In search of the white hare they'd [C] look high and low.
[D] Till at last Barney Conway from a-bonding [F] so bare,
Shouted out to the huntsman, there lies the white hare.
So they called up their greyhounds from off the green hilly,
And Barney and the huntsman all jumped [C] high with glee.
[F] Twas there on the turf they all gathered around,
Seven dogs and nine men did that poor hare surround.
[Dm] It was no wonder that [Bb] white hare didn't tremble with [Dm] fear,
As she stood on her hind legs she would pray his great [D] tears.
She stood on her hind legs in one gallant [F] spring,
She jumped over the greyhounds and crawled through the bay.
[Dm] Chased a twin pony, [Bb] it was a beautiful view,
As swift [C] as the wind were the green mountains through.
[Dm] But those pet of green greyhounds they [F] didn't run far,
They came back and went home in their fine Malta car. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Then there came [Bb] another male, you all know [Dm] him well,
His name was [C] McKelly with a bonny black bell.
[D] In search of the white hare today [E] I'll have fun,
[F] As my black bell turns her holly fifty to one.
Five times the hare got then from bonny black bell,
And the sixth one was given around John Poggy's [D] bell.
Twas there we lost [F] sight of the hare and the dog,
[Bb] Until ten minutes [F] later gone are the far bog.
The chase that went on it was a great far [Dm] to see,
All the white hare and the black dog both roamed wild [C] and free.
Till she travelled [Am] to ask her where she knew the [F] land well,
And to bonny black bell out there soon [Bb] bid her well.

_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ Shame, lift my yield of moth,
Shame on his [C] or her yield of moth,
[F] Me waters head in turn or shank,
Oh quiggy ken him on yield of moth.
Shame, lift my yield of moth,
Shame on [Bb] his or her yield of moth,
[F] Me waters head in turn or shank,
Oh quiggy ken him on yield of moth.
And now to [Bb] conclude and to finish my rhyme,
I [F] hope you'll forgive me for [C] singing all this time.
[Dm] If there's any amongst you [F] in Kedecmore fair,
Let's drink of health to that bony [Bb] white [F] hare.

[F] Shem le-mo yilma, shem ohezer gilma,
He was [C] a saint in turn [F] or shame, O quid ge-ken mo yilma.
Shem le-mo [D] yilma, shem ohezer gilma,
He was a saint in turn or shame, [Fm] O quid ge-ken mo [F] _ yilma. _ _ _ _
