[00:00.00]The Bonny Black Hare (Alternate Take) - Fairport Convention
[00:00.70]Written by：Traditional
[00:01.41]On the fourteenth of may at the dawn of the day
[00:09.83]With my gun on my shoulder to the woods I did stray
[00:14.19]In search of some game if the weather proved fair
[00:18.72]To see could I get a shot at the bonny black hare
[00:27.46]I met a young girl there with her face as a rose
[00:31.69]And her skin was as fair as the lily that grows
[00:36.71]I says my fair maiden why ramble you so
[00:41.02]Can you tell me where the bonny black hare do grow
[00:48.76]Oh the answer she gave me her answer was no
[00:53.32]But it's under me apron they say it do grow
[00:57.93]And if you'll not deceive me I vow and declare
[01:02.73]We'll both go together to hunt the bonny black hare
[01:10.42]Well I laid this girl down with her face to the sky
[01:15.16]And I took out my ramrod and my bullets likewise
[01:19.64]I says lock your legs round me and dig in with your heels
[01:24.35]For the closer we get oh the better it feels
[01:52.28]The birds they were singing in the bushes and trees
[01:56.71]And the song that they sang was oh she's easy to please
[02:01.68]I felt her heart quiver and I knew what I'd done
[02:06.39]Says I have you had enough of my old sporting gun
[02:14.57]The answer she gave me her answer was nay
[02:18.91]It's not often young sportsmen like you come this way
[02:23.79]And if your powder is willing and your bullets play fair
[02:28.61]Why don't you keep firing at the bonny black hare
[02:36.56]Oh my powder is wasted and my bullets all gone
[02:41.52]My ramrod is limp and I cannot fire on
[02:45.87]But I'll be back in the morning and if you are still here
[02:50.88]We'll both go together to hunt the bonny black hare
