A west country legend
that tells of a witch who takes the form of a white hare and goes out looking for prey at night. If she catches your
eye she steals your soul away.
I heard her in the valley,
I heard her in the dead
of night.
The warning of a white
hare
Her eyes burning bright.
Careful you don`t catch
her
Or give her right of
way.
For she will look upon
you,
Steal your soul away
For the white hare is
calling,
Dancing in the night.
She'll be out `til the
morning light.
Out upon the heather
A shadow came onto me.
Her hair was hanging
over,
Her face I could not
see.
She ran behind the rocks,
I heard the hounds cry,
The image of a woman
With her head held up
high.
For the white hare is
calling,
Dancing in the night.
She'll be out `til the
morning
With eyes burning bright.
The white hare is calling
you.
If you go hunting,
Calling out your prey,
If you see a fair maid,
With her hair ash and
grey,
Careful you don`t catch
her,
Give her right of way,
For she will look upon
you,
Steal your soul away.
