The Story of the Man That Went Out Shooting - The Tiger Lillies

This is the man that shoots the hare

This is the coat he wears

With game bag powder horn and gun

He's going to have some fun

The hare sits in the leaves and grass

And laughs to see the green man pass

And as the sun gets very hot

And he a heavy gun has got

The lays down under a tree

And goes to sleep as you can see

The hare sneaks up hip hop

Takes the gun and then hops off

The green man wakes and sees the hare's face

With the gun shoved in his face

Well he screams and runs away

The hare chases him all day

That hare is trying all that she can

To shoot the sleepy green coat man

Help help help help help

Help help help help help …

Fire the hare

At last he stumbles at a well

Arse over tit and in he fell

The hare takes aim and hark

Bang goes the gun and hits the mark

Bang bang bang bang

The hare's

The green man's wife

Was drinking her coffee

From her coffee cup

The hare shot cup and saucer through

And then the hare shot her too

Help help help help help

Help help help help help …

Fire the hare

Well the hare's own child the little hare

Lived by the cottage there

And as she stood upon her toes

The hare shot her through the nose

She died with nose in hand

And she didn't understand

And then the hare put the gun to her head

And bang went the gun and she too was

Dead dead dead dead

Deaddeaddeaddeaddeaddeaddeaddead

Deaddeaddeaddeaddeaddeaddeaddead

Dead dead dead dead

Help fire the hare
