The Woodshedders - Rabbit Hole Lyrics

sitting up high on the mountain top
where the wind blows out of the west
a bird walked by she didn’t fly
had salt on her tail i guess

i say won’t you sing for me a song
she say la la la
i looked down and my money was gone
way up in the sky

oh why why why
i just need a friend
but she went down the rabbit hole
i never did see her again

sitting on the bank where the river flows
down around the bend
i made my pillow on a cypress knee
when along come the braided head

she replied to where you been so long
with “down the bayou…”
rose on the hill become the pink moon
she turned to the rougarou

oh why why why
i just need a friend
but she went down the rabbit hole
i never did see her again

well then i found my curly top
hanging sheets out on the line
she looked me up and looked me down
said they won’t take long to dry

now all the browns, the reds, the gold
they try to call my name
but they just choke on the ash and smoke
trying to kindle that old flame

they say why why why
i just need a friend
but i’m gone down the rabbit hole
they might not see me again
so if you find me you better be my friend
for i’m bound down the rabbit hole
you might not see me again
