C |
Rattler was a good old dog, |
G7 | |
As blind as he could | be. |
But every night at suppertime,
C | |
I believe that dog could | see. |
Chorus:
C |
Here, Rattler, here, |
G7 | |
Here, Rattler, | here, |
Call old Rattler from the barn,
C | |
Here, Rattler, | here. |
Rattler barked 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 walkin' 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 goin' there too.
