(What is a graveyard rabbit?)
Well, now ah couldn't explain whut a graveyard rabbit [is], only a rabbit jes' stay in de graveyard all de time. [There are not many graveyard rabbits in Hoodoo. I suspect that he was largely developed by come- dians. Perhaps some help came from writers of hoodoo manuals. Somehow, except that he lives or runs through a graveyard and has a lucky left-hind foot, he is not especially interesting. Of course he can be a witch in disguise, but so can a pig or a dog and other ani- mals.]
