OLD RATTLER Recorded by Grandpa Jones
[G] Old Rattler was a good old dog; As blind as he could [D] be Ev'ry night 'bout supper time; I believe that dog could [G] see.
Refrain: [G] Here! Rattler, Here! Here!; Here! Rattler! [D] Here! Call old Rattler from the barn; Here! Rattler! [G] Here!
Old Rattler tree'd the other night; And I tho't he'd tree'd a 'coon When I come to find out; He was barkin' at the moon./Refrain:
Well, grandma had a yeller hen; We set her as you know We set her on three buzzard eggs; And hatched out one old crow./Refrain: Grandpa had a muley cow; She was muley when she's born It took a jaybird forty year; To fly from horn to horn./Refrain:
Now if I had a needle and thread; As fine as I could sew I'd sew my sweetheart to my back; And down the road I'd go./Refrain:
Old Rattler was a smart old dog; Even tho' he was blind He wouldn't hurt one single thing; Tho' he was very fine. One night I saw a big fat 'coon; Climb up in a tree I called old Rattler right away; To get 'im down fer me.
But Rattler wouldn't do it; Because he liked that 'coon I saw them walkin' paw in paw; Later by the light of the moon./Refrain:
Now old Rattler's dead and gone; Like all good dogs do You better not act a dog yourself; Or you'll be goin' there too./Refrain:
