OLD RATTLER
As recorded by Grandpa Jones

[G] Old Rattler was a good old dog, as fine as he could [D] be
Ev'ry night 'bout suppertime, 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 treed the other night and I thought he'd treed 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 though he was blind
He wouldn't hurt one single thing though he was very fine. REFRAIN

One night I saw a big fat 'coon climb up in a tree
I called old Rattler right away to get him down for me. REFRAIN

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
