Rattler Lyrics.

Rattler was a good old dog, blind as he could be
But ev'ry night at suppertime, I believe that dog could see

Here Rattler, Here Rattler Here!
Call Old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, Here!

Grandma had a yellow hen, she set her eggs you know
Set her on some buzzard eggs, she hatched out one old crow.

Here Rattler, Here. Here Rattler Here!
Call Old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, Here!

Grandpa had a muley cow, muley when she was born,
Took a jaybird forty years, to fly from horn to horn

Here Rattler, Here. Here Rattler here!
Call Old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, Here!

Late one night I heard him howl, I thought he'd treed a coon,
When I went out to see what's up, he was barkin' at the moon!

Here Rattler, Here. Here Rattler Here
Call Old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, Here!

Now old Rattler's dead and gone, where all good dogs go
You keep playin' the dog yourself,
you'll be goin' there too I know!

Here Rattler, Here. Here Rattler Here
Call Old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, Here!

Enjoy and have a great weekend! I’m going to be busy at the Music Fest (Bach’s legacy… ;))
