Old Rattler Lyrics
Rattler was a good old dog as blind as he could be
But every night at suppertime I believe that dog could see
Here Rattler here here Rattler here
Call old Rattler from the barn here Rattler here
Rattler breaked the other night I thought he treed a coon
When I come to find him he's barkin' at the moon
Rattler was a friendly dog even though he was blind
He wouldn't hurt a living thing he was so very kind
One night I saw a big fat coon climb into a tree
I called Ol' Rattler right away to fetch him down for me
But Rattler wouldn't fetch for me because he liked that coon
I saw them walking paw in paw later by the light of the moon
Grandpa had a muley cow muley since she was born
It took a jaybird forty years to fly from horn to horn
Now old Rattler's dead and gone like all the good dogs do
Don't put on the dog yourself or you'll be going there too
But every night at suppertime I believe that dog could see
Call old Rattler from the barn here Rattler here
When I come to find him he's barkin' at the moon
He wouldn't hurt a living thing he was so very kind
I called Ol' Rattler right away to fetch him down for me
I saw them walking paw in paw later by the light of the moon
It took a jaybird forty years to fly from horn to horn
Don't put on the dog yourself or you'll be going there too
