Old Rattler
Ramblin' Jack Elliott

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 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 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
