Nighttime, blue moon
Don't wait too long, don't go too soon
It's all you know, it's in your blood
When they come you will wonder why
When you find out, it will be too late
Cotton Tail, they're on your trail
Eat now, oh Cotton Tail
Eat all the leaves, and swallow well
But keep your wits, make no mistakes
The owl's perched high, above the snakes
When they come you will wonder why
When you find out, it will be too late
Cotton Tail, they're on your trail
Rabbit run, rabbit run
Back to your hole, the dogs have come
The sun will rise, they'll shoot their guns
They'll mow you down, they'll skin your hide
And you are scared
But don't be afraid
'Cause you'll get there
But if you fall and if you're killed
I'll still love you, my Cotton Tail
