[B] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ In the lowlands [C#] of [B] Cregan there lives a white [F#] hare, And swift as [C#] the swallow [G#m] that [C#] flies through the air.
[D#m] You may trap the world of our button and to compare, [B] To the pride [F#] of old Cregan that [B] funny white hare.
[F#] One clear [C#] autumn [B] morning as you will suppose, [F#] Over in [C#]
Goldison [B] or the [C#] green mountain the rose,
[D#m] Barney Conway came down and he did declare, [F#] _
[B] This [F#] day I'll put an end [B] to the funny white hare.
[F#] So he searched through [C#] the lowlands [B] and down through the [F#] glens, On the [C#] wild pitches [D#m] where the [C#] white hare didn't.
_ [D#m] Till at last coming down over the heather [F#] so [B] fair, From behind [F#] the wild thistle out jumps [B] the white hare.
[F#]
Bang bang [C#] went his guns and [B] his dogs he slipped to, [F#] As swift [C#] as the wind o'er [B] the green [C#] mountain flew.
But [D#m] his dog soon came back and it made [F#] Barney sigh, _ [B] Barney knew [F#] that the white hare [B] had been [D#m] good-bye.
_ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [D#] _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ [F#] And we're some jolly [C#] sportsmen [B] down here from [F#] Pomeroy, From Cookstown, [C#] [D#m] Dunganan and likewise [C#] Des Moines.
[D#m] With our pedigree greyhounds we've [F#] travelled from far, [B] And we've come [F#] down to Cregan [B] in our fine motor car.
[F#] Pulling [C#] to the [B] lowlands these huntsmen did go, [F#] In search [C#] of the white [B] hare they'd look [C#] high and low.
[F#] Till at [D#m] last Barney Conway from a bog [F#]-bind so rare, [B]
Shouted out [F#] to the huntsmen [B] there [C#] lies [B] the white hare.
[F#] So they called [C#] up their [B] greyhounds from off the green lee, [F#] _ [C#] Barney and the [D#m] huntsmen all [C#] joined _ tightly.
[D#m] It was there on the bog-bind all [F#] gathered round, [B] _ Seven dogs and nine [C#] men did that poor [B] hare surround. _
_ _ [D#m] Oh no [C#] wonder that the white [B] hare did tremble with fear, [F#] As she stood [C#] on her hind [B] legs she would [C#] raise her big ears.
[D#m] As she stood on her hind legs at one [F#] gallant spring, [B] She jumped [F#] over the [B] greyhounds and drove through the rain.
[F#] Well as she aced [C#] it went on, [B] it was a beautiful view, [F#] As stiff [C#] lines would ignore [B] the green [C#]
mounds through.
[D#m] But those pedigree greyhounds they didn't [F#] run far, [B] They came back [F#] and went [C#] home in [B] their fine motor car. _ _

[F#] Then there came [C#] another man, [B] you all know him [F#] well, His name [C#] was McKelly with [B] the [C#] bonny black bell.
_ _ _ _ _ [D#m] Oh in search of the white hare today [F#] I'll have fun, [B] I'll bet fifty to one my black bell will heart on.
[F#] Five turns [C#] the hare got then [B] from bonny black bell, [F#] And the sixth [C#] one was given [G#m] around yon [C#] party's well.
[D#m] It was there we lost sight of the hare and the _ dog, [B] And then ten [F#] minutes later [B] came more the black bog.
[F#] Well as she aced it [C#] went [B] on, it was great for to see, [F#] The white [C#] hare and the [F#] black dog both their own [C#] light and free.
[D#m] So she travelled to Wescar where she knew the [F#] lands well, And [B] to [F#] bonny black bell out [B] there soon bid farewell. _ _ _

[F#] Oh now to [A#m] conclude and [B] to finish this [F#] rhyme, I hope [C#] you'll forgive me [B] for singing all this [F#] while.
_ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] If [D#] there's any amongst you in [F#] Cardickmore fair, [B] Please drink up [F#] a [C#] health to [B] that bonny white hare.
