Part 2 — No 120 OLD ADAM THE POACHER

1 Old Adam was a poacher, Went out one day at Fall, To catch a hare for roasting And eating bones and all, In the sun Expecting fun Old Adam smiling lay. O hare it is good eating, Thus did old Adam say. Old Adam was a poacher, Went out one day at Fall, To catch a hare for roasting, And eating, bones and all. 2 A keeper that was passing, Peer'd slyly through the brake Saw Adam with his springle; Proceeded both to take. Hare not his'n, So in prison Old Adam groaning lay. O hare it is good eating But not for him to-day, Old Adam was a poacher Went out one day at Fall Went out that morning looking big Returnèd, looking small.
