Old Molly Hare,
What you doing there?
1. Running through the cotton
Just as fast as I can tear.
Refrain
2.
Eating up the apples
And a looking for a pear
Refrain
3.

Nibbling in the garden,
Just as often as I dare.

Refrain
4. Picking out a briar,
Sitting on a prickly pear.
Refrain
5. Sitting on a haystack,
And a-shooting at a bear.
