There’s a rabbit in a log and I ain’t got my dog
                      G
How will I get him, I know
     C
I’ll get me a briar and I’ll twist it in his hair
                    G          C
That's the way I’ll get him, I know


[Chorus 1]

  F                 C
I know (yes I know) I know (I surely know)
                               G
That’s the way I’ll get him, I know
         C
Oh, I’ll get me a briar and I’ll twist it in his hair
                    G          C
That's the way I’ll get him, I know

I'll build me a fire and I’ll cook that ole hare

Have a feast here tonight while the moon is shinin’ bright
                  G            C
and find myself a place to lie down


[Chorus 2]

       F                     C
To lie down (to lie down) to lie down (to lie down)

I’m going down the track with my coat ripped up my back
                             G
Soles on my shoes are nearly gone
       C
Just a little ways ahead there’s a farmer’s shed
                      G             C
and that’s where I’ll rest my weary bones


[Chorus 3]

      F                         C
Weary bones (weary bones) weary bones (you lazy bones)
                                G
That’s where I’ll rest my weary bones

Just a little ways ahead there’s a farmer’s shed
