Lyrics

See that poster hangin’ high
Says you’re invited the rabbit drive
Come this Sunday when the preachin’s done
Grab your club boys, grab your gun
Pack a picnic me oh my
Watch what goes down at the rabbit drive
The kids are welcome, they can help too
There’s a big ol’ job we all got to do

The rabbit drive
You do what you do cause you got to survive

Gather them folks straight in a line
This is how we catch um at the rabbit drive
Slow and steady as you start to walk in
Herd them vermin push um right in the pin
They’ll eat a fence post to stay alive
We’ve all known hunger at the rabbit drive
And they’ll steal what’s left of the cattle feed
Well enough’s enough and we’ve all agreed

The rabbit drive
You do what you do cause you got to survive

See them Jacks jump and jive
Everyone’s a hopin at the rabbit drive
Catch um by the ears catch um by the feet
Ain’t one more rabbit gonna touch our wheat
Raise your stick now it’s clubin’ time
This is how we swing it at the rabbit drive
Bash that bunny on the top of the head
Bash um good till he’s nothin’ but dead
Nothin’ but dead

The rabbit drive
You do what you do when you got to survive

All them rabbits across the county lines
Lay murdered in a heap at the rabbit drive
Some folks, humble, take a “hoover hog”
Most will go to the chickens and the dogs
I ain’t one to judge or deprive
What’s done is done at the rabbit drive
Is the wrath of God what darkens the sky?
At 3 cents a pelt, we might just get by
And you do what you do when you got to survive
And I’ll see you next week at the rabbit drive.
