Rattlin' Bog Song
The Tune:
Lyrics:
Chorus
Oh, Oh, The rattlin' bog,
The bog down in the valley-O
Oh, Oh, The rattlin' bog,
The bog down in the valley-O
And in that bog there was a tree,
A rare tree, a rattlin' tree.
With the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-O.
Chorus
And on that tree there was a limb,
A rare limb, a rattlin' limb.
With the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-O.
Chorus
And on that limb there was a branch,
A rare branch, a rattlin' branch.
With 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.
Chorus
(Continue pattern adding twig, nest, egg, bird, feather, flea, leg, foot, boot, and finally ...)
And on that boot there was a lace,
A rare lace, a rattlin' lace.
With the lace on the boot,
And the boot on the foot,
And the foot on the leg,
And the leg on the flea,
And the flea on the feather,
And the feather on the bird,
And the bird on the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest 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.
Chorus
And on that lace, there was an END.
Oh, Oh, The rattlin' bog,
The bog down in the valley-O
Oh, Oh, The rattlin' bog,
The bog down in the valley-O
And in that bog there was a tree,
A rare tree, a rattlin' tree.
With the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-O.
Chorus
And on that tree there was a limb,
A rare limb, a rattlin' limb.
With the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-O.
Chorus
And on that limb there was a branch,
A rare branch, a rattlin' branch.
With 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.
Chorus
(Continue pattern adding twig, nest, egg, bird, feather, flea, leg, foot, boot, and finally ...)
And on that boot there was a lace,
A rare lace, a rattlin' lace.
With the lace on the boot,
And the boot on the foot,
And the foot on the leg,
And the leg on the flea,
And the flea on the feather,
And the feather on the bird,
And the bird on the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest 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.
Chorus
And on that lace, there was an END.
