O-ro the rattlin bog, the bog down in the valley-o
O-ro the rattlin bog, the bog down in the valley- o
(repeat chorus after each verse)
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.
Now 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.
Now 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.
(Repeat, adding a line each time)
Now on that branch there was a twig, a rare twig, a rattlin twig.....
Now on that twig there was a nest, a rare nest, a rattlin nest.....
Now in that nest there was an egg , a rare egg, a rattlin egg.....
Now in that egg there was a bird, a rare bird, a rattlin bird.....
Now on that bird there was a feather, a rare feather, a rattlin feather .....
Now on that feather there was a flea, a rare flea, a rattlin flea .....
