Old Rattler
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 * Refrain Rattler was a friendly dog, even though he was blind He wouldn't hurt a living thing, he was so very kind * Refrain One night I saw a big fat coon, climb into a tree I called Ol' Rattler right away, to fetch him down for me * Refrain 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 * Refrain Grandpa had a muley cow, muley since she was born It took a jaybird forty years, to fly from horn to horn * Refrain Now old Rattler's dead and gone, like all the good dogs do Don't put on the dog youself, or you'll be going there too * Refrain
