Lyrics
Bunny Rabbits in Heaven
This is a story about a little girl
Tammy was her name when she lived in this world
She had a beagle dog and Rosie was her name
Rosie had mind of her own like most beagles do
She chased squirrels, possums, and bunnies too
And Tammy and Rosie would run and play
Chorus
Tammy said Mamma are there bunny rabbits in heaven
When we all go there can Rosie and I chase them
Will Jesus let us run and play
Mamma are there bunny rabbits in Heaven
It was summertime at the Family farm
Dirt roads and meadows it was safe from harm
Splashing in the creek under the trestle bridge
A car came flying down the road one day
Rosie couldn't get out of the way
Now Tammy and Rosie don't chase bunnies anymore and Tammy cried
Repeat Chorus
The car crashed off the road that's what they say
She was sixteen and Tammy died that day
There were no goodbyes and tears flowed for years
Tammy was laid to rest next to Rosie in the ground
A poor little girl got her clothes and she found
A note in the pocket that said - Yes Mamma
Final Chorus
There are bunny rabbits in heaven
When we all go there Rosie and I will chase them
Yes Jesus will let us run and play
Mamma there are bunny rabbits in Heaven
