Bonny Black Hare

Song: Bonny Black Hare
Artist: Damh The Bard
Album: Tales From The Crow Man

On the 14th of May
At the dawn of the day
With me gun on me shoulder
To the woods I did stray

In search of some game
If the weather proved fair
To see can I could get a shot
At the bonny black hare

I met a young girl there
With her face as a rose
Her skin was as pale
As the lily that grows

I said now young maiden
Why ramble you so
Can you tell me where
The bonny black hare do go

The answer she gave me
Her answer was no
But under me apron
They say it do grow

So if you'll not deceive me
Well I vow and declare
We'll both go together and hunt
The bonny black hare

I laid that girl down
With her face to the sky
I got out me ramrod
And me bullets likewise

Saying, wrap your legs round me
And dig in with your heels
For the closer we get love
The better it feels

The birds, they were singing
In the bushes and trees
And the song that they sang was
Oh she's easy to please

I felt her heart quiver
And I knew what I'd done
I said have you had enough
Of me old sporting gun

The answer she gave me
Her answer was nay
It's not very often sportsmen
Like you come this way

So if your powder is willing
And your bullets are fair
Why don't you keep firing
At me bonny black hare

Well me powder is wasted
And me bullets all gone
Me ramrod is limp and
I cannot fire on

But if your back tomorrow morning
Well I vow and declare
We'll both again to hunt
The bonny black hare

@abominableangel He strikes me rather more like one of the fey or a character from "Something Wicked This Way Comes".
