Subject: Lyr Req: Rattler Rolling Down the Line
From: GUEST,Jon
Date: 05 Aug 05 - 11:17 AM

Please does anyone recall a song by the (original) Seekers called "Rattler" dating back to the 60's
It went something like:

Rattler rolling on down the line
Dreams to carry me through the night
Left some setting suns behind me
There'll be many more, before I'm through
Rattler take me home to my baby
One way ticket, bringing me back to you

I have searched high & low to get all the lyrics and failed miserably.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Jon

Rattler

Don't know where I'll be tomorrow,
Ridin' on some northern railroad.
Left some setting suns behind me;
There'll be many more before I'm through.
Rattler, take me home to my baby;
One-way ticket, bringin' me back to you.

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.

Been away for such a long time;
You've been on my mind the whole time.
I've changed cities like an old coat,
Train a-rollin', don't know where I am.
Friends I'll never meet again,
Memories drifting by like grains of sand.

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.

Rattler movin' on down the line,
Dreams to carry me through the night.
Country lanes sweep by before me,
Friendly stars to light my way to you.
Rattler, take me home to my baby;
One more town, journey's almost through.

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
(Humming and fade)

You're fast - I was still pawing through my old Seeger lp's! - Then I realized I no longer had an operating turntable anyway (:
