GUEST,Jeffrey Silverstone ADD: Old Riley / Here Rattler Here (55* d) RE: Lyr Req: Here Rattler Here 05 Apr 09


There is a version by James "Sparky" Rucker on his record "Cold & Lonesome on a Train" which is different than above. None of the verses reference a dog, but the song is consistant with people making up verses while ad hoc to a refrain while working in a chain gang. My four old son loves it because the instrumentation is percussion by rattling chains and the yelps in the refrain.
