The Rattlin' Bog:

Lyrics: The Rattlin’ Bog

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o

1. Now in this bog there was a tree
A rare tree, a rattlin' tree
The tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o

2. And on this tree there was a limb
A rare limb, a rattlin' limb
The limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o

3. And on this limb there was a branch
A rare branch, a rattlin' branch
The branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o

4. And on this branch there was a twig
A rare twig, a rattlin' twig
The twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o

5. And on this twig there was a leaf
A rare leaf, a rattlin' leaf

The leaf on the twig

And the twig on the branchAnd the branch on the limbAnd the limb on the treeAnd the tree in the bogAnd the bog down in the valley-o

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o

6. And on this leaf there was a bug
A rare bug, a rattlin' bug
The bug on the leaf
And the leaf on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o

7. And on this bug there was a hair
A rare hair, a rattlin' hair
The hair on the bug
And the bug on the leaf
And the leaf on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o

Ho ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-oHo ro the rattlin' bogThe bog down in the valley-o
