DDown to a river by an old dirty track 
I was Drunning like a rabbit hiding in the grass 
EmI met a little fish swimming in a stream 
AMost pretty little fish that I ever seen 
DShe was peaking up from out of the blue 
I was Dwiggling my whiskers, I said How do you do? 
EmShe said I'm alright, I'm feeling OK 
AThanks for asking How are you today? 
DI told her I was happy just scooting around 
DAsked her if she'd like to see my hole in the ground 
EmBut she wouldn't have it & was kind of upset 
I Emasked her What's the problem? 
SAhe said Well, is it wet? 
I Dsaid No, it's dry, drier than the sun 
She saiDd That's problematic, beside which, I don't run 
BEmut if you'd like to see my little rock in the reeds 
SwAim this way & follow me if you please 
DShe swam a little circle then she dived deep down 
I wDaited for a second but there wasn't a sound 
SEmo I waited on the river by the side of the track 
AListening for a ripple but she never came back 
GBaby, Dout in the wildgrass 
That's whAere EmI live & I run so fast
GBut lately Dout of the water 
ASince I met you I Emain't been sober 
I'm just a drGunk little rabbit waiting by a stream 
GWaiting for a fish I seen
DI hopped out to the mountains out to visit a friend 
I asDked him if he had some kind of boat I could lend 
EmHe just laughed & he narrowed his eyes & said 
AI'm an eagle, boy, I live in the sky 
DI said Well, no harm in askin' & I hopped on my way
But my Dfriend flew overhead, he must have had more to say 
EmI waited by the river where I spent most my time 
& my friend the Aeagle came flying out of the sky 
DHe grabbed me by the ears & he swung me round 
Way oDut over the river I thought he would drown 
EmGathered all my strength & kicked him hard in the arse 
He Adropped me & I landed with a thud in the grass 
DThen I ran off like a rocket that was Jupiter bound 
DBack into my burrow, little hole in the ground 
EmI waited & I trembled & I didn't come out 
ATrying to figure out what all that was about 
GBaby, out in Dthe wildgrass 
AThat's wherEme I live & I run so fast
But latGely out of Dthe water 
ASince you leEmft me I ain't been sober 
I'm just a drGunk little rabbit waiting by a stream

DEventually I figured it had been a mistake 
So I vDisited my neighbour, a big black bellied snake 
EmI told her about the fishy that was down in the stream 
& all Aabout the eagle that was cranky & mean 
DShe just smiled & hissed & waggled her tongue 
Then she Dwhispered in my ear, but what she said kinda stung 
EmShe told me I was nosey & as dumb as they come

DSo I stumbled & I staggered back to the river's edge 
I Dwas feeling kind of sick so I layed down my head 
EmAnd I had myself a vision like a wonderful dream 
ALike I was floating in the ocean but in that very stream 
DAnd all the little fishies they were swishing around

EmShe told me I was welcome to join her in the black 
ASo I did & I was happy & I never looked back 
GBaby, Dout in the wildgrass 
AThat's where EmI live & I run so fast

Down to a river by an old dirty track

I was running like a rabbit hiding in the grass

I met a little fish swimming in a stream

Most pretty little fish that I ever seen

She was peaking up from out of the blue

I was wiggling my whiskers, I said How do you do?

She said I'm alright, I'm feeling OK

Thanks for asking How are you today?

I told her I was happy just scooting around

Asked her if she'd like to see my hole in the ground

But she wouldn't have it & was kind of upset

I asked her What's the problem?

She said Well, is it wet?

I said No, it's dry, drier than the sun

She said That's problematic, beside which, I don't run

But if you'd like to see my little rock in the reeds

Swim this way & follow me if you please

She swam a little circle then she dived deep down

I waited for a second but there wasn't a sound

So I waited on the river by the side of the track

Listening for a ripple but she never came back

G D

Baby, out in the wildgrass

A Em

That's where I live & I run so fast

G D

But lately out of the water

A Em

Since I met you I ain't been sober

I'm just a drunk little rabbit waiting by a stream

Waiting for a fish I seen

I hopped out to the mountains out to visit a friend

I asked him if he had some kind of boat I could lend

He just laughed & he narrowed his eyes & said

I'm an eagle, boy, I live in the sky

I said Well, no harm in askin' & I hopped on my way

But my friend flew overhead, he must have had more to say

I waited by the river where I spent most my time

& my friend the eagle came flying out of the sky

He grabbed me by the ears & he swung me round

Way out over the river I thought he would drown

Gathered all my strength & kicked him hard in the arse

He dropped me & I landed with a thud in the grass

Then I ran off like a rocket that was Jupiter bound

Back into my burrow, little hole in the ground

I waited & I trembled & I didn't come out

Trying to figure out what all that was about

G D

Baby, out in the wildgrass

A Em

That's where I live & I run so fast

G D

But lately out of the water

A Em

Since you left me I ain't been sober

I'm just a drunk little rabbit waiting by a stream

Waiting for a fish I seen

Eventually I figured it had been a mistake

So I visited my neighbour, a big black bellied snake

I told her about the fishy that was down in the stream

& all about the eagle that was cranky & mean

She just smiled & hissed & waggled her tongue

Then she whispered in my ear, but what she said kinda stung

She told me I was nosey & as dumb as they come

I should not be hanging out where I don't belong

So I stumbled & I staggered back to the river's edge

I was feeling kind of sick so I layed down my head

And I had myself a vision like a wonderful dream

Like I was floating in the ocean but in that very stream

And all the little fishies they were swishing around

& suddenly I saw that little fish I had found

She told me I was welcome to join her in the black

So I did & I was happy & I never looked back

G D

Baby, out in the wildgrass

A Em

That's where I live & I run so fast

G D

But lately out of the water

A Em

Since you left me I’m drowning in water

I'm an unhappy little rabbit drowning in a stream

Down among the fish I seen
