Jack Rabbit

Song byElton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Go jack-rabbit running through the wood

You had a good night and you feel real loose

Heard they got you going round the goosecreek shed

Trying to fill your belly full of buckshot lead

Go jack-rabbit get the cabbage patch

Farmer left the back porch door on the latch

Heard you coming and he got his gun

Better go jack-rabbit better start to run

Go jack-rabbit running through the wood

You had a good night and you feel real loose

Gunfire breaking up the peaceful night

Jack-rabbit lying in the cold daylight
