[F#] In the lowlands of Cregan there lives [B] a white hare As [F#] swift as the swallow that [G#] flies through the air
[D#m] He may tramp the world over but [F#] none to compare To the pride of low Cregan that bonny [B] white hare
[F#] Oh, in clear autumn morning as you will [F#] suppose In the red golden sun or the green mountain rose
_ [D#m] Bardicón we came down and he did [F#] declare [B] On his day [F#] I'll put an end to the bonny [B] white hare
[F#] So he searched through the [D#m] lowlands and down through the [B] glen [F#] All the most wild ditches where the white [G#] hare dents
[D#m] Till at last coming down over the heather [F#] so fair Burn [B] on behind [F#] the wild this a louchy youngster [B] white hare
_ [F#] Bang, bang went his guns and his dogs he slipped to As swift as the wind over the green mountain flew
[D#m] But his dogs came back and it [F#] made Barney sigh [B] Barney knew [F#] that the white hare had bid him [B] goodbye

_ _ _ [F#] And we're some jolly sportsmen down here [B] from Pomeroy [F#] From Cookstown, Dunganan and from [C#] likewise Damoy
[D#m] With our pedigree greyhounds we've travelled from [F#]
far And we've come down to Cregan in our fine [B] motor car
[F#] Oh, we'll into the lowlands these huntsmen did go And in search of the white hare they looked high [G#] and low
Till [D#m] at last Barney called we from a tarp I'm so [F#] rare She yelled out to the huntsman there lies the white [B] hare
[F#] So he called up the greyhounds from off the greenlea And Barney and the [D#m] huntsman all jeered [G#] tightly
[D#m] It was there and a tarp bank all gathered [F#] around Seven dogs a night men did that poor [B] hare surround
_ _ [D#m] Oh, no wonder that white hare did tremble with [F#] fear As she stood on her hind legs she would [G#] raise her big ears
[D#m] As she stood on her hind legs with one gallon [F#] string She jumped over the greyhounds and broke [B] through the ring
[F#] Well as she aced it men thought it was a beautiful view As swift as the wind [D#m] over the [G#] green mountain flew
But [D#m] those pedigree greyhounds they didn't run [F#] far They [B] came [F#] out and went home in their fine [B] motor car Yeah!

[F#] Five turns the hare [D#m] got then from bonnie black [F#] bell And the sixth one it was given around here on Highswell
It was [D#m] there we lost sight of the hare and the dog And then ten minutes later they came o'er [B] the black ball
[F#] Well as she aced it men thought it was great [B] for to see [F#] Oh, the white hare and the black dog they roamed [G#] light and free
[D#m] Till she travelled to Esker where she knew the [F#] lands well [B] And to bonnie black bell there soon be their way
