Omigosh! "Rattlesnake Bit the Baby" was our most requested song when we played at Silver Dollar City, near Branson, MO, many years ago! Our mandolin player was always coming up with these obscure songs to play as instrumentals. One day he played that song. The lyrics came to us instantly:
Rattlesnake bit the baby!
Rattlesnake bit the baby!
Rattlesnake bit the baby!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

We had to play 4 and 1/2 hours per day, so we had a long list of songs taped to the bass. When RBtB came up, we loudly announced that it was "Happy Time!" We had a great time getting our audiences to sing along with us.

I'm sure these words are not what you want, but I had to respond because of how much fun we had playing this song. If you want to go to my website at www.bigfoot.com/~mrgreer and email me, I might be able to send you a copy of a live performance (CD) we did in the late 70's with RBtB on it.

Thanks for the memories!
