Lyrics:
Little Rabbit where's your mammy?
Little Rabbit where's your mammy?
I want to see your mammy,
Tell me rabbit where's your mammy?
Little Rabbit where's your mammy?
Little rabbit where's your mammy?
Dead and gone to glory,
Little rabbit where's your mammy?
Little Rabbit where's your mammy?
Little rabbit where's your mammy?
Gone to Alabammy
Little Rabbit, where's your mammy?
Little Rabbit where's your mammy?
She's died and gone to glory
Some day I'm going to see her
Little Rabbit where's your mammy?
"Rabbit Where's Your Mammy?" is an American reel
in cut time and A Major. The parts are played AABB.
The tune family is a common one in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where it probably
originated, but the tune has since been widely disseminated.
It is often played with (and confused with) "Little Rabbit".
California mandolin and fiddler player Kenny Hall recalled that Crockett’s Kentucky Mountaineers
removed to Hollywood from Kentucky in the 1920’s to further their careers. Hall, who has lived in
Fresno since the 1950’s, met the elderly Crocket who was then in retirement and was told that the
Crockett family had played “Little Rabbit Where’s Your Mammy” for a Bugs Bunny cartoon sometime
in the 1930’s.
