Old Molly Hare, what you doing there?
Running down the road as hard as I can tear.
Old Molly Hare, what you doing there?
Running through the briarpatch as   hard as I can tear.

Jump up, jump up, yonder comes a bear,
running through the underbrush as hard as he can tear.
Step back, step back, Daddy shot a bear.
Shot him through the eye and he never touched a hair.

Old Molly Hare what you doing there?
Sitting by the butterdish picking out a hair.
Old Molly Hare what you doing there?
Sitting on the hillside eating on a bear.

Old Molly Hare if you don't care
just leave my liquor jug sitting right there.
Old Molly Hare she took a spell
and kicked my liquor jug all to hell.

alternative with a different type of chorus:
Old Molly Hare What're you doin' there?
Sittin on a haystack Shootin' at a bear.
Shot at one Shot at two
Shot at another one An' give it to you.

Old Molly Hare What're you doin' there?
Sittin on a butter dish Pickin' out a hair.
Picked out one Picked out two
Picked out another one An' give it to you.

Old Molly Hare What're you doin' there?
Sittin in a corner Smokin' a segar.
I lit one I lit two
I lit another one An' give it to you.
