Old Rattler

Old Rattler was a good old dog
Blind as he could be
Every night at suppertime
I believe that dog could see

Here, Rattler, here, here!
Here, Rattler, here
Call old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, here

Now Rattler treed the other night
And I thought he treed a coon
When I come to findin' out
He's barkin' at the moon

Here! Here!
Here, Rattler, here
Call old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, here

Grandpa had a muley cow
Muley when she was born
It took a jaybird 40 years
To fly from horn to horn

Here! Here! Here! Here!
Here, Rattler, here
Call old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, here

Grandma had a yeller hen
We'd set her as you know
Set her on three buzzard eggs
Hatched out one old crow

Here! Here!
Here, Rattler, here
Call old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, here

Now old Rattler's dead and gone
Like all the good dogs do
You better not act a dog yourself
Or you'll be goin' there too

Here! Here! Here! Here!
Here, Rattler, here
Call old Rattler from the barn
Here, Rattler, here
