1. Old Molly Hare,
What you doing there?
Running through the cotton patch
As fast as I can tear.

2. Old Molly Hare,
What you doing there?
Sitting in my fireplace
A-smoking my cigar.

3. Old Molly Hare,
What you doing there?
Sitting on a haystack
A-shooting at a bear.

4. Old Molly Hare,
What you doing there?
Sitting on a butter plate
a-picking out a hair.

5. Old Molly Hare,
Your tail's too short.
Yes, doggone it,
I can tuck it out of sight.

6. Dogs say "boo"
And they bark, too.
I haven't got time
For to talk to you.

7. Riding of a goat
And leading of a sheep,
I won't be back
'Til the middle of the week.
