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
She's dancing in the night
And 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
Her head she held up high

For the white hare is calling
She's dancing in the night
She'll be out 'til the morning
With her eyes burning bright
The white hare is calling you

If you go hunting
Or calling out your prey
Or if you see a fair maid
With hair an ashen grey

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
She's dancing in the night
She'll be out 'til the morning
With her eyes burning bright
The white hare is calling you
