Paxton, Tom - I Had To Shoot That Rabbit Lyrics
I had to shoot that rabbit
He didn't see me standing there
He wasn't even runnin'
Dogs were hollerin' everywhere
He was afraid to run
Raisin' it higher
Ready to fire
I had to shoot that rabbit
He was just too scared to move
All his runnin' was over
What did he care what I had to prove
It was supposed to be fun
Somehow I was a-raisin' my gun
It was all loaded
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...
I had to shoot that rabbit
The sergeant told me now Jimmy now do it right
I don't remember it clearly
He looked much too young to fight
He couldn't run no more
Somebody told me that war is war
Then why am I cryin'
And who is dyin'
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...
I had to shoot that rabbit
The sergeant told me now Jimmy now do it right
I don't remember clearly
He looked much too young to fight
He couldn't run no more
Somebody told me that war is war
Then why am I cryin'
And who is dyin'
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...

Paxton, Tom I Had To Shoot That Rabbit Comments
Great memories! I had this album back in the 1970's in England during my college days and then had the good fortune to see Tom Paxton in concert circa 1999-2000 at the outdoor arena at the Kravitz Centre in Palm Beach, South Florida. I have been singing this song for over 40 years. TP - A true legend.
