  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:
