"Rabbit in the Mine"
Written by Port Sulphur Band
Publication December 10, 1894

Sitting in the darkness
It's fear that drives your mind
You been down there too long, too long
Rabbit in the mine

They'll take me to the gallows
All my years for what I done
I been down here too long, too long
Rabbit's time is up

And I called on the devil
And I called on the divine
Gonna bring my sins to Jesus
Tell me, was a rabbit in the mine?

When they walk you to the gallows
Got to hold your head up high
That web is made to trap you, like a
Rabbit in the mine

Say it with me now

Called on the devil
Called on the divine
Gonna bring my sins to Jesus
Tell me, was a rabbit in the mine?

He said he found the answer
Way down in Kingsnake Mine
You stay down there too long, you'll be
The rabbit in the mine

Called on the devil
Called on the divine
Gonna bring my sins to Jesus
Tell me, was a rabbit in the mine?

Was a rabbit in the mine?
Was a rabbit in the mine?
