'''BIG-EYED RABBIT [2]'''. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Alabama, Mississippi, western North Carolina. A Major. AEae (e.g. Tommy Jarrell, Kirk Sutphin) or Standard tuning. ABB (irregular 'A' part): AABB (Silberberg). Recorded by Quitman, Mississippi, fiddler Charles Long in 1939 in the field for the Library of Congress.
<br>
<br>
''Yonder comes a rabbit, ''<br>
''Fast as he can run,''<br>
''If I see another one, ''<br>
''Gonna shoot him with a double-barrel gun.''<br>
''Gonna shoot him with my gun.''
<br>
<br>
''Yonder comes a rabbit, ''<br>
''Slippin' through the sand,''<br>
''Shoot that rabbit, he don't care,''<br>
''Fry him in my pan,'' <br>
''Fry him in my pan.''
<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
''Rockin' in a weary land'' (x2)<br>
or  ''Big-eyed rabbit's gone, gone'' (x2)
<br>
<br>
''Yonder comes my darlin','' <br>
''How do I know?''<br>
''Know her by her bright blue eyes,'' <br>
''Shinein' bright like gold,''<br>
''Shinein' bright like gold.''  (Tommy Jarrell/Plank Road String Band).
<br>
<br>
Bob Woodcock (Pa.) supplied this verse (a coney is an old English term for a rabbit-Coney Island=Rabbit Island):
<br>
<br>
''Coney on the island, coney on the run,''<br>
''I'll get that rabbit in my pan, I'll shoot him with my gun.''
<br>
<br>
The tune, as recorded in the 1920's by the Alabama old-time duo the Stripling Brothers, shows up in some remarkable places. The Striplings' record was reissued (as were several American old-time sides) in Québec, albeit with a new title in French. In the case of "Big-Eyed Rabbit," the tune was renamed "Le reel de la Malbaie." The melody was also picked up in Ireland where it was rendered as a barn dance, where, for example the famous Ulster fiddler Sean Maguire recorded it as the first tune of his "Canadian Barndance" (a Canadian Barn Dance is a type of progressive couples dance popular in Ireland and Scotland-many 2/4 tunes have been the vehicle for the dance).
