Steeleye Span - Bonny black hare

^AmOn the 14th of May at the ^Cdawn ^Gof the ^Amday ^AmWith me gun on me shoulder to the ^Cwoods I ^Fdid s^Amtray

^AmIn search of some game if the ^Cweather ^Gproved ^Amfair ^AmAnd to see could I get a shot at the ^Cbonny ^Fblack ^Amhare.

^AmWell I met a young girl there with her f^Cace ^Gas a ^Amrose ^AmAnd her skin was a fair as the ^Clily ^Fthat g^Amrows

^AmI said ‘Me fair maiden wh^Cy rambl^Ge yo^Amu so? ^AmCan you tell me where the bonny ^Cblack ^Fhare do ^Amgo?’

^AmOh the answer she gave me her ^Canswer ^Gwas ?^Am??No ^AmBut it’s under me apron the^Cy say i^Ft d^Amo go

^AmAnd if you’ll not deceive me ^CI vo^Gw an^Amd declare ^AmWe’ll both go together to hunt th^Ce bonn^Fy blac^Amk hare.’

^AmWell I lay this girl down with her ^Cface ^Gto the ^Amsky ^AmAnd I took out me ramrod and me ^Cbullets ^Flikew^Amise

^AmI said ‘Lock your legs round me an^Cd di^Gg in with you^Amr heels ^AmFor the closer we get, oh the ^Cbetter ^Fit ^Amfeels.’

^AmWell the birds they were singing in the ^Cbushes ^Gand ^Amtrees ^AmAnd the song that they sang was ?^C??She?^F??s easy^Am to please.’

^AmI felt her heart quiver and I knew ^Cwhat ^GI’^Amd done ^AmSaid I ‘Have you had enough of m^Ce ol^Fd sportin^Amg gun?’

^AmWell the answer she gave me her ^Canswer ^Gwas ?^Am??Nay ^AmIt’s not often young sportsmen like yo^Cu com^Fe thi^Ams way

^AmAnd if your powder is willing and your ^Cbullets ^Gplay ^Amfair ^AmWhy don’t you keep firing at th^Ce bonn^Fy blac^Amk hare?’

^Am‘Well me powder is wasted and m^Cy bullet^Gs al^Aml gone ^AmMe ramrod is limp and I ^Ccannot ^Ffire ^Amon

^AmBut I’ll be back in the morning and i^Cf you ar^Ge stil^Aml here ^AmWe’ll both go together again to hunt th^Ce bonn^Fy blac^Amk hare.
