The Bonny Black Hare (Trad. arr. Carthy and Swarbrick) Appropriate for todays date. "On the 14th of May at the dawn of the day, With me gun on me shoulder to the woods I did stray, In search of some game if the weather proved fair, To see could I get a shot at the bonny black hare" This was one of the songs that had myself and my mate banned from performing with the school folk singing group. Listen to the lyrics and you'll see why.
