Bonny Black Hare Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

At the fAmourteenth of may aCt the dGawn of the dAmay

With the gun on me shoulder to the woCods I dFid sAmtray

In search of some game if the weCather grFew fAmair

To see could I get a sChot at the bGonny black hAmare

Well, I met a young girl there with a face as a rose

And her skin was as fair as the lilys at close

I says me fair maiden why ramble you so

Can you tell me where the bonny black hare is to go

Oh, the answer she gave me her answer was no

But it sound to me (aprin*) they say you to go

And if you not decieve me I bow and declare

We both go together to hunt the bonny black hair

Well, the lady-girl's down with her face to the sky

And I took out me ramrod and me bullets likewise

I said lock your legs around me and begin with your heels

For the closer we get, oh, the better it feels

And the birds they were singing in the bushes and trees

And the song that they sang was obvious easy to please

And I felt a heart quiver and I knew what I'd done

Since I had you have enough of me old sporting gun

Well, the answer she gave me, her answer was nay

It's enough that young sportsmen like you comes this way

And if your powder is willing and your bullets fly fair

Why don't you keep firing at the bonny black hair

Well, me powder is wasted and me bullets all gone

Me ramrod is limb and I cannot fire on

But I'll be back in the morning and if you are still here

We'll both go together again to hunt the bonny black hare
