Jack Rabbit Lyrics
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
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
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
You had a good night and you feel real loose
Gunfire breaking up the peaceful night
Jack-rabbit lying in the cold daylight
Is this simply about a jack rabbit tormenting a farmer (their crops). The jack rabbit generally gets away from the bullets, but the last line suggests perhaps their luck ran out (lying in the cold daylight ... suggests death).
the song to me is about a person (the jack rabbit) who has everything going for them but finially they face realty and the cold world
