Baby Bunting:
By bye baby bunting, daddy's gone a hunting, for to catch a rabbit skin to wrap the baby bunting in.
Submitter comment:
My mother repeated this to my brothers and sisters and myself when we were very young. It was told to her when she was a child. It is a small verse used to explain the absence of father when the child asks where he is.
